1	or 2 whole garlic bulb(s)
3	to 4 teaspoons snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1	tablespoon snipped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
2	tablespoons olive oil or cooking oil
1-1/2	pounds boneless beef ribeye steaks or sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick
1	to 2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1/2	teaspoon salt

1. With a sharp knife, cut off the top 1/2 inch from each garlic bulb to expose the ends of the individual cloves. Leaving garlic bulb(s) whole, remove any loose, papery outer layers.

2. Fold a 20x18-inch piece of heavy foil in half crosswise. Trim into a 10-inch square. Place garlic bulb(s), cut sides up, in center of foil square. Sprinkle garlic with basil and rosemary and drizzle with oil. Bring up opposite edges of foil and seal with a double fold. Fold remaining edges together to completely enclose garlic, leaving space for steam to build.

3. For a charcoal grill, grill garlic on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals about 30 minutes or until garlic feels soft when packet is squeezed, turning garlic occasionally.

4. Meanwhile, trim fat from steaks. Sprinkle pepper and salt evenly over both sides of steaks; rub in with your fingers. While garlic is grilling, add steaks to grill. Grill to desired doneness, turning once halfway through grilling. For ribeye steaks, allow 11 to 15 minutes for medium-rare (145 degrees F) and 14 to 18 minutes for medium (160 degrees F). For sirloin steak, allow 14 to 18 minutes for medium-rare (145 degrees F) and 18 to 22 minutes for medium (160 degrees F.) (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place garlic on grill; while garlic is grilling, add steaks to grill. Cover and grill as above.)

5. To serve, cut steaks into six serving-size pieces. Remove garlic from foil, reserving the oil mixture. Squeeze garlic pulp from each clove onto steaks. Mash pulp slightly with a fork; spread over steaks. Drizzle with reserved oil mixture. Makes 6 servings.
