Ingredients
- 1 whole head garlic
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded, deveined and ground, or 2 tablespoons store-bought ancho chile powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 (8 to 10-ounce) New York steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wrap the head of garlic in aluminum foil and roast for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool until it's easy to handle.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins into a small glass bowl. Mix in the softened butter and ancho powder until well blended. Season with salt and pepper. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface, add the butter mixture to the center, and shape it into a log. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 1 hour.
- Heat a barbecue to medium-high. Brush the steaks with olive oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Grill the steaks to your preferred doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium. Transfer to a serving platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. When ready to serve, top each steak with a slice of the roasted garlic and ancho butter.
Chef's Note: The flavored butter can be prepared in advance and will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week.
