Eatables

My husband and I occasionally like to eat at Rock Bottom Brewery where they have these delicious garlic stuff steaks. Since I can’t afford to eat out all the time, I wanted to try and make it at home. And ya’know what? It tasted even better than the restaurant!

I always purchase my beef from Wild Oats Natural Marketplace. They have all-natural meat without antibiotics, artificial hormones or growth-promoting drugs. I highly recommend purchasing organic meat from such stores or your local butcher. It’s much better quality meat and it definitely tastes better.

Personally, I am a garlic lover! I must have got it from my dad, heh. But that’s a good thing! Garlic tastes great and it is quite good for you too! It gives a nice sweet punch to the steaks. I’m also a pepper lover too, so this recipe has a little extra added to it.

Prep: 15 minutes
Outdoor Grill: 25-30 minutes
Indoor Grill: 8-10 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 5 to 6 whole garlic bulbs
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 2 teaspoons peppercorns, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 (8 oz.) top sirloin steaks, 1 inch thick

Steps

1. Put spices on steaks and message into the meat with your fingers.
2. Make a slit in each steak. Cut garlic bulbs in half and insert into slit in steak.
3. Since it is the middle of winter, I used my George Forman grill for these steaks. It took about 8 minutes to reach medium. I like my steak a little more cooked, so I left them on for a couple of extra minutes. On a grill it would take around 18 to 22 minutes to reach medium.
