Sear the steaks: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering and almost smoking. Carefully place the seasoned steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness, until a deep brown crust forms.

Baste with garlic butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the unsalted butter, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Once the butter is melted and fragrant, tilt the pan slightly and spoon the melted garlic butter over the steaks continuously for 1-2 minutes. This basting will infuse the steaks with flavor and help them cook evenly.

Rest the steaks: Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Slice and serve: Slice the rested steaks against the grain into desired thickness. Serve immediately with the roasted asparagus.
