Here's how to make it: 

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper. When the olive oil is hot, add the steak in a single layer and cook until well seared, about 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook about 2 minutes more. (You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.) Remove the steak to a plate. 
2. Add the butter to the skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, if using, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. 
3. Add the steak back to the pan and stir to coat with the garlic butter. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
