Pat the steak dry and season generously on both sides with salt and pepper. In a heavy-duty 12-inch (30 cm) skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the steak and brown well on both sides, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium rare. Transfer the steak to a plate and let it rest while you prepare the garlic butter.

In an 8-inch (20 cm) skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook, swirling the pan frequently, until lightly golden, about 4 minutes. Lightly salt to taste.
