Garlic Skewers & Beer Fridge Aged Ribeye

[thirdeye]

From the National Garlic Month Throwdown! description: "Cook with garlic and make it the star or supporting actor in your entry dish!"

I took option A and made garlic the star. But I had a pretty good co-star that fit right in too. I started with a boneless Easter prime rib, then cut a bunch of steaks leaving me with either a thick steak, or a thin roast which I trimmed close and let dry in the beer fridge for 3 days.

I studded the steak around the perimeter, then shot a few ounces of beefy goodness into it.

Next I marinated some garlic in Spanish olive oil and skewered them. They got about 15 minutes in light smoke, then more oil and roasted for 25 minutes more until they were soft.

Meanwhile, it was grilling time.

I bruised some rosemary and thyme and oiled a cutting board so we could eat the meat and garlic family style along with a slice of sourdough.

Well, that's about as good as it gets on many levels all at once, Wayne! Lots of garlic, great beef, grilled perfectly, nice board photo, served APL-ish, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat!

Thanks for the kind words. It was kind of funny because I like dragging a pinch of fresh bread through the board dressing. Mrs ~t~ makes sourdough in a Dutch oven and this slice was so big it made the steak look smaller than it was so I had to work around that.

Hey, you got your name changed.

Yeah it's great bread, it bakes in a dual purpose Dutch oven, and when baking..... the (shallow) top becomes the bottom and the bottom is the lid. both pieces are preheated so the bread goes wild.

A little Irish butter on the bread and it would be perfect for me.

Will someone fetch me an adult beverage from that beer fridge and I’ll be needing some elbow room. And as my grandpa used to say, “at the dinner table if you open your mouth put some food in it”
