Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then season both sides liberally with salt and black pepper.
Peel and smash the garlic cloves with the side of a knife to release their aroma.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
When the skillet is hot, carefully place the steaks into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them, until a deep golden crust forms.
Flip the steaks and reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, rosemary sprigs, and smashed garlic cloves to the skillet.
Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter, garlic, and rosemary by tilting the skillet and spooning the liquids over the steak continuously for another 3-4 minutes.
For medium-rare doneness, remove the steaks when the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C). For medium doneness, cook to 140°F (60°C). Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.
Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice against the grain and serve immediately, optionally garnished with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
