Seared Steak With Roasted Garlic Aïoli

Seared steak topped with a dollop of garlicky aïoli makes a simple and satisfying supper. Experiment with different herbs in this easy, super-flavorful aioli. While delicious on steak, it would make a perfect sauce for grilled or broiled salmon or a delicious sandwich spread.

Prep/Cook Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 1 small head garlic, roasted
• ¼ cup low-fat mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
• ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt plus ¼ teaspoon, divided
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1–1¼ pounds boneless strip steaks (about 1 inch thick), trimmed

Directions

1. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the roasted garlic pulp into a small bowl. Add mayonnaise, rosemary, ¼ teaspoon pepper and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Stir and gently mash together, leaving large pieces of garlic intact to create a chunky sauce.
2. Pat steaks dry and cut into 4 equal portions. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, but not smoking. Add the steaks and cook until browned on the bottom, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn over, reduce heat to medium-low and cook to desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Serve the steaks with about 1½ tablespoons aioli each.
