Picanha on the Stove (Brazilian Garlic Sirloin)

2 top sirloin steaks
3 Tbsp. Olive oil
1 Tbsp. Kosher salt
4-5 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1. Mash oil, salt and garlic together to form a paste or mash only slightly if you prefer chunkier garlic. Rub all over meat and let sit for at least an hour before cooking.
2. Heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet on med/high heat. You want the pan to be very hot before adding the meat so that the juices are seared in.
3. Add steaks and let sear 2 minutes on each side. Do not do anything to them while searing! For medium steaks cook for about a total of 8 minutes turning the steaks every 2 minutes. Serve.

-We didn't have access to a grill but if you would prefer a grilled steak then just before grilling remove some of the paste from the steaks and brush on while the steaks are grilling.
