Double-Garlic New York Strip with Balsamic Finish layers bold garlic flavor two ways: a punchy fresh-garlic marinade that seasons the meat through, and a mellow, buttery garlic confit on top. A final splash of balsamic adds tang that balances the richness. Serve for a special weeknight dinner or an at-home steakhouse treat when you want big, balanced flavor.

1

Whisk the garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the marinade is well mixed; pour it into a resealable plastic bag.
2

Add the steaks, coat them with the marinade, press out excess air, and seal the bag.
3

Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
4

Combine 12 garlic cloves and 1 cup olive oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
5

Cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is golden and tender, about 30 minutes; set aside.
6

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.
7

Remove the steaks from the bag and blot off excess marinade with paper towels; discard the marinade.
8

Generously season the steaks with salt and black pepper.
9

Grill the steaks on the preheated grill until slightly firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 5 minutes per side.
10

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 130 degrees F (54 degrees C).
11

Transfer the steaks to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
12

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the steaks, then spoon a few cloves of the oil-roasted garlic on top.
