One of the best ways to cook the larger cuts of Carter Country beef is the reverse sear method. Take a tip out of Chef Austen Grangers book as he walks us through his technique to achieve a perfectly cooked New York steak.

INGREDIENTS:

Roasted Garlic 

• 1 head garlic
• Olive oil

• Kosher salt to taste
• Course ground black pepper to taste

COOKING DIRECTIONS:

Roasted Garlic

1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Slice a ¼ inch off top of garlic head, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Wrap in foil and place in a shallow dish and into preheated oven.
4. Roast until golden and soft, about 40 minutes.
5. Squeeze cloves into medium mixing bowl.

Compound Butter

1. Add butter, parsley, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt and black pepper to taste, to mixing bowl with roasted garlic. Mash and mix to combine.
2. Place butter mixture onto a piece of wax paper or parchment paper.
