Season the Steak
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.

Add Aromatics
Add the garlic cloves (smashed with the skin on) and rosemary sprigs to the pan. After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks and add these aromatics to infuse flavor.

Finish Cooking
Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time according to your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Rest the Steak
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.
