The quantities follow this count.

4 beef sirloin steaks
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Season the steaks generously with the salt and the black pepper on both sides and let them come to room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet or griddle over high heat until it just begins to smoke, then add the crushed garlic cloves to perfume the oil.
Lay the steaks in the hot pan and sear for 2 to 3 minutes per side for a nicely browned crust and a pink center, or longer if you prefer them more well done.
Remove the garlic once it turns golden so it does not burn.
Transfer the steaks to a plate, let them rest for 2 minutes, and serve straightaway while still sizzling.
