Instructions
1
Begin by preheating a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil, then gently stir in the peeled garlic cloves. Pan roast the garlic, tossing occasionally until golden brown, for about 5-10 minutes.
2
Once browned, drain the garlic through a strainer, reserving the flavorful oil if desired for future use.
3
Allow the roasted garlic to cool slightly, then use a fork to roughly mash it into a paste.
4
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed garlic with the chopped thyme, followed by the Dijon mustard. Mix well to create a flavorful paste.
5
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and prepare your grill or grill pan by heating it to high heat.
6
Generously season the rib-eye steaks with salt and pepper, pressing the seasonings into the meat for optimal flavor. Drizzle a little olive oil over the steaks.
7
Sear the steaks on the grill for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until they develop a beautiful golden crust.
8
Carefully transfer the grilled steaks to a large baking sheet.
9
Spread the garlic-mustard mixture generously over the tops of the steaks.
10
Heap the freshly grated parmesan cheese onto the steaks, ensuring it covers the surface completely, reaching the edges.
11
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the steaks to finish cooking to your desired level of doneness.
