Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Peel the garlic cloves and smash them lightly with the flat side of a knife to release their aroma.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
Carefully place the steaks into the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes without moving them, or until a golden-brown crust forms.
Flip the steaks and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet.
Tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter and garlic-infused juices for 1-2 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the steaks with a meat thermometer: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium. Adjust cook time as necessary.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a cutting board. Tent them loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-7 minutes.
Slice the steaks against the grain and serve with the garlicky butter sauce drizzled over the top.
