Tips for using Chunk Steak in Indian curry recipes?

Looking for advice on using Chunk Steak in Indian curries. My usual method for these recipes is:

1. Cook the protein with a spice rub
2. Make the curry separately
3. Fold the protein in at the end before serving

I typically make something like this tofu barra from Vegan Richa. I've had great results with tofu, seitan, Daring Chicken, and MorningStar Farms strips.

For Chunk Steak though, I'm second-guessing myself. Would you skip the seasoning step entirely and just cook it plain according to the package (drop of oil, flip after two minutes) before folding it in? Or is there a third option I'm missing?

Would love to hear how others have handled this.
