Follow these straightforward steps to create your mouthwatering Bavette Steak with Irresistible Roasted Garlic Pan Sauce:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will prepare for roasting the garlic.

1. Prepare the Garlic: Place whole garlic cloves on a small piece of aluminum foil. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and wrap it up tightly. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the garlic is soft and fragrant.

1. Marinate the Steak: While the garlic roasts, rub the bavette steak with olive oil, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.

1. Sear the Steak: Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until preferred doneness is reached. Remove from the pan and let rest.

1. Make the Pan Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat and add the butter. Once melted, squeeze the roasted garlic out of their skins and into the pan. Mash the garlic into the butter for a minute.

1. Deglaze the Pan: Add optional balsamic vinegar or red wine to the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the pan with a spatula while mixing. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

1. Slice the Steak: After resting for a few minutes, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. This ensures tenderness.

1. Combine and Serve: Drizzle the roasted garlic pan sauce over the sliced steak. Make sure every piece is generously covered.

This method ensures that every element of the dish shines through, creating layers of flavor and texture that will impress anyone lucky enough to share this meal with you.
