Heat a heavy skillet (a cast iron skillet is recommended) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot pan. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, carefully place the seasoned steaks into the skillet.

Sear the steaks for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for a medium-rare doneness. Adjust cooking time to achieve your desired level of doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if necessary, sear the steaks in batches.

Transfer the cooked steaks to a clean plate. Loosely tent them with aluminum foil and allow them to rest while you prepare the sauce. This resting period helps the juices redistribute, ensuring a tender steak.

Return the skillet to the stovetop and reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

Pour the beef broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This will add depth of flavor to the sauce. Stir in the heavy cream, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
