Thoroughly pat the beef tenderloin steaks dry with paper towels. This helps them develop a beautiful crust when searing.
Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Crush the garlic cloves and place them beside the steaks.
Heat a skillet over high heat. Once it's smoking hot, add the steaks. Sear on both sides for 3-4 minutes, until a crispy crust forms and the steaks reach your desired level of doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Serve the beef tenderloin steaks with a fresh salad, your favorite side dish, or simply with a slice of toasted bread.
