Pat the protein dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add the protein and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes per side, until deeply golden on the exterior and cooked through — chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part on an instant-read thermometer; pork chops and whole beef cuts should reach 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest; ground beef patties should reach 160°F (71°C). Transfer the protein to a plate and tent loosely with foil.
