| Yield: | 2 servings |
Ingredients
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper
- 2 (12 ounce) New York strip steaks
- 12 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 cup olive oil for frying
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Whisk minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, then pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
- Combine 12 garlic cloves and 1 cup olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is golden and tender, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove steaks from bag, wiping off excess marinade with paper towels. Generously season steaks with salt and black pepper.
- Cook the steaks on the prepared grill until they start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Remove steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Drizzle balsamic vinegar over steaks, then spoon a few cloves of oil-roasted garlic on top.

This recipe is awesome! The balsamic on the steak with the garlic was the perfect touch to an amazing steak. Chef John you have never let me down!
Steaks turned out really good, although frying the garlic until golden brown on low took way longer than 30 minutes as the recipe suggests.
i put some balsalmic vinegar in the bag along with onions , it came out very tender, i will be making ths again , the only problem i had was my dog drooling and begging for a bite
I absolutely love steak.. and garlic too! This was so tasty and wouldn’t mind cooking it again! Thanks for the recipe this was too good.
Great recipe. I did substitute a T-bone steak for the strip .My husband and I are garlic and steak lovers so this is is the perfect combination for us. I will definitely make it again.
I used New York cuts. Turned out very juicy, soft and flavorful. Will make this again and again.
I kept right with the recipe as I always do the first time making something so I can truly rate it. I have to admit that I usually rave about Chef John’s recipes, but unfortunately this time it was just ok. I love garlic and had high hopes but I think I like my own seasoning better when seasoning my steaks. I used porterhouse steaks and kept in airtight bag over night.
My hubby really loved this recipe! I marinated this for 2 days!
We finely sliced the steaks, melted cheese on top for the most delicious steak subs!
Absolutely will make this again.
Great recipe for all garlic lovers like myself. What a difference the roasted garlic made for the topping on the steaks. I will definitely make this again. I also saved the olive oil to dip some French bread in for later meals.
Fantastic! Marinating overnight is perfect. I used a touch more salt and pepper. Pairs great with grilled halved onions and cherry tomatoes in same marinade!
I followed this recipe exactly as written…I marinated overnight, about 10 hours. Cooked this for my ‘picky steak eater’ hubby & he raved about how delicious it was…I never cook steaks because he is so picky about them. He had no complaints about this one, so this one is a keeper. I’m so happy I found this recipe so I can now cook steaks at home!! It’s delicious & Thank you! 🙂
My family and I thought this was a great recipe was great. Steaks had great flavor. I didn’t have basalmic vinegar so I used A1 and Italian dressing.
Made tonight for Father’s Day. Followed the exact recipe and family absolutely loved it! My family couldn’t stop eating the delicious steaks. As Chef John suggested, I let my hubby do the grilling! Thanks for a great recipe.
Loved it !! I served it accompanied with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and my personal “kicked up” Caesar Salad. As Chef John recommends buy quality beef. Don’t waste all that beautiful garlic on mediocre offerings.
Simple and delicious!
I marinated the steaks for only 5 hours and had more than 2 ounces of steak in each batch of marinade, but the garlic flavor still came through on the steaks. It was subtle, but definite. Instead of whole cloves I minced the roasted garlic to make a garlic oil sauce. The garlic and balsamic vinegar was awesome. Everyone loved this meal! We’ll definitely make it again.
This is a tough one for me to rate and I’ll tell you why. I’ve tried this recipe exact as it is a few times now and for some reason, I don’t seem to get a good garlic taste from the marinated meat itself (have used a few different cuts as well). While I can add some of the garlic oil as directed at the end, which makes it tastes better, it seems like the marinating is extra work for not enough payback. I would prefer to cook a good steak and add some garlic butter to the top of it then go through all these steps. Having said all of this though, I LOVE this garlic oil for bread dipping. I have made it for that purpose and added herbs to it and it is amazing for that. So, I have given the recipe 4 stars because of that but I do think that others should try the full recipe version to see what they think.
If you love garlic, then you’ll absolutely adore this recipe! I marinated the steaks overnight and while there’s nothing quite like a grilled steak the combination of the balsamic vinegar along with the oil-roasted garlic put this classic over the top! This definitely did put a smile on my face as well as my husband’s. Thanks for yet another fabulous recipe Chef John!!!
I marinated the 2 rib eyes in ingredients for 3-4 days, then cooked them on the charcoal grill, until medium rare, and they came out terrific.
