Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wrap in aluminum foil, and roast in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized.
- While the garlic is roasting, prepare the sirloin steak. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Rub the bergamot zest all over the steak.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side until a nice brown crust forms.
- Transfer the seared steak to a baking dish. Once the garlic is finished roasting, squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins and mix them with the softened butter, thyme, and lemon juice in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the garlic-thyme butter over the top of the steak.
- Place the baking dish in the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 135°F or 57°C).
- Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the sliced steak with lemon wedges and drizzle any remaining garlic-thyme butter on top.
Notes
For a twist, try substituting the thyme with rosemary or serve with a side of roasted vegetables.
