Ah, next, uh, let the steak sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes, so it cooks more evenly. Um, while it's resting, you can, hm, season it with salt and pepper, or add your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor. Ah, now, heat a skillet or grill on medium-high heat, uh, you want it nice and hot. Um, carefully place the steak on the heated surface, and, ah, let it cook for a few minutes on each side until you achieve that desired level of doneness, whether it's rare, medium, or well-done. Hm, make sure to use tongs to flip the steak, so you don't lose those tasty juices. Ah, once it's cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and, um, let it rest for a few minutes, mmm, this allows the juices to redistribute and the steak to become even more tender. And, well, there you have it, a perfectly cooked steak, ready to be enjoyed."]

First, choose a good quality cut of meat, such as a ribeye or sirloin. Next, let the steak sit out at room temperature for about 30 minutes, so it cooks more evenly. While it's resting, season it with salt and pepper, or add your favorite herbs and spices for extra flavor. Now, heat a skillet or grill on medium-high heat, ensuring it is nice and hot. Carefully place the steak on the heated surface and let it cook for a few minutes on each side until you achieve the desired level of doneness, whether it's rare, medium, or well-done. Use tongs to flip the steak to avoid losing those tasty juices. Once it's cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

Author Notes

As you can see, I had to do a lot of yelling in the prompt box to keep it in line with what SW wants. It does well at removing the filler words and making the text flow better, but it also has the tendency to make other, additional improvements to the text. You can see that I explicitly told it not to change "like" to "such as" and yet it still does it. I'm not sure how else to fine-tune the prompt to get it to recognize when "like" is being used as a filler word and when it's being used as a legitimate part of speech. I'm not sure how much of an issue this would be, but wanted to draw attention to it either way.
