Heat 2 tbsp garlic-infused oil in a 12-inch oven-safe skillet over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke. Add the steaks and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, until a deep mahogany crust forms on the underside. Flip and sear the second side for 2 minutes. Using tongs, briefly sear the edges, about 30 seconds per side.
