Remove the New York strip steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Season both sides of the steaks generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steaks to the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer if needed (130Β°F for medium-rare). Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same pan.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst.
Stir in the Kalamata olives, fresh thyme leaves, and balsamic vinegar. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the mixture is warmed through and the flavors meld together.
Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh parsley.
Plate the steaks and spoon the tomato and olive mixture generously over the top.
Serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh green salad.
