Roasted Garlic Steak
by Masterbuilt
Ingredients
- 1 or 2 whole garlic bulbs
- 3 to 4 tsps snipped fresh basil or 1 tsp dried rosemary, crushed
- 2 tbsp olive oil or cooking oil
- 1 ½ lbs boneless beef rib eye steaks or sirloin steak cut 1 inch thick
Directions
- With a sharp knife, cut off the top ½ inch from garlic bulb to expose the ends of the individual cloves. Leaving garlic bulbs whole remove any loose papery outer layers.
- Fold a 20x18 inch piece of heavy foil in half crosswise. Trim into a 10-inch square. Place garlic bulbs; cut sides up, in center of square. Sprinkle the garlic with basil and rosemary and drizzle with oil.
- Bring up opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose garlic, leaving space for steam to build.
- Grill garlic on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals about 30 minutes or until garlic feels soft when packet is squeezed, turning garlic occasionally.
- Meanwhile, trim fat from steaks. Sprinkle 1 to 2 tsp cracked black pepper and ½ tsp salt evenly over both sides of steaks, rub in with your fingers.
- While garlic is grilling, add steaks to grill. Grill to desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. For rib eye steaks, allow 11-15 minutes for medium rare, and 14-18 minutes for medium.
- For sirloin steak, allow 14-18 minutes for medium rare, and 18-22 minutes for medium.
- Remove garlic from foil, reserving the oil mixture. Squeeze garlic pulp from each clove onto steaks. Mash pulp slightly with a fork spreading over steaks. Drizzle with the reserved oil mixture.
