Toppings
Method
Preparing the Garlic
- 1
Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tops off the garlic bulbs to expose the cloves slightly. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of EVOO and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Wrap each bulb in aluminum foil and roast in the oven for about 30-35 minutes, until soft and caramelized.
Cooking the Steak
- 2
Prepare the Steak
While the garlic is roasting, take the NY strip steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps them cook more evenly.
- 3
Season the Steak
Rub both sides of the steaks with 2 tablespoons of EVOO, then generously season with salt and black pepper.
