Pat the NY strip steaks dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear. Bring the steaks to room temperature by leaving them out for about 30 minutes beforehand if possible.
Generously season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt and coarse black pepper. Gently press the seasoning onto the meat to adhere.
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the olive oil and let it shimmer but not smoke.
Carefully place the steaks in the hot skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary. Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a deep golden crust.
Flip the steaks and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the internal temperature reads about 125Β°F for medium-rare (adjust cooking time according to desired doneness).
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and butter to the pan, swirling the butter to melt. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the garlic-infused butter for about 1 minute.
Remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the steaks against the grain into thick slices and serve hot. Optionally, drizzle with chimichurri sauce or serve the sauce on the side.
