Pat the steaks dry with paper towel, season with salt and pepper and rub them with some of the olive oil.

Preheat a medium skillet (the 2 steaks should fit snugly in one layer), over medium high heat, until almost smoking.

Add the steaks and reduce heat to medium and cook the steaks for 5 minutes on each side, until medium-rare or medium. (145 to 160F degrees)

Transfer the meat to a serving dish and let them rest for 5 minutes, or while you prepare the garlic.

In the same skillet, add the olive oil and, once hot, sauté the garlic until brown (about 2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper and pour on top of the filets.

Serve with your choice of vegetables, mashed potatoes and/or polenta.
