Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for 30 minutes.

While steaks are warming, saute the mushrooms in oil over medium heat in a large, heavy pan until fully cooked; about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to saute for another minute; season with salt and pepper. Remove from pan and reserve mushrooms and garlic in a bowl, covered.

Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and heat to medium high. While pan is heating, thoroughly dry the steaks with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.

While steaks rest, deglaze the pan with wine; reduce wine to half.

Add the rosemary and mushrooms; simmer for 1 minute. Pour mushroom sauce over steaks and serve with healthy sides.
