Remove the sirloin steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.
Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and allow it to get hot until shimmering.
Carefully place the steaks into the hot skillet, ensuring they are not crowded. Sear for 3-4 minutes without moving them to develop a golden-brown crust.
Flip the steaks and sear the other side for 3-4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium if the skillet gets too hot.
Add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt and become fragrant.
Using a spoon, baste the steaks with the melted butter mixture by tilting the skillet slightly and spooning the butter over the top of the steaks repeatedly for about 1-2 minutes.
For medium-rare steaks, check for an internal temperature of 130°F (adjust cooking time based on your desired doneness). Remove the steaks from the skillet once done and let them rest on a plate for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the stove top sirloin steaks hot, optionally garnished with fresh rosemary and an extra drizzle of the pan juices. Pair with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
