Wow, what flavor! I used this recipe for filet and it was tender, juicy and delicious. Thanks, diner!

Very nice recipe! We are lovers of garlic, so this appealed to me right away.I didn't use my mortar & pestle, instead I ran the garlic through my garlic press, then added the rest of the ingredients. I only added a touch of salt to the sauce, instead salting the meat before cooking. I loved that this sauce is a last minute kind of thing, since it made it much easier for a weeknight barbeque. I used one rib eye and 2 small lamb chops, as I love lamb, but DH isn't a fan. Thanks for a great recipe! Made for ZWT5 by one of the Cooks with Dirty Faces.

What is it about steak and garlic? You can just never go wrong with a good steak and garlic. My bone in rib steak was very happy with this marvelous basting sauce and so was I. I wouldn't change a single thing and can't wait to use this with chicken and pork. So Good!

Great steak! I liked Ingrid's idea of pressing the garlic, so did that. I grilled a rib eye on my stove top grill and this was really easy and tasted great. Thanks diner for a nice, quick, tasty meal. Made for All You Can Cook Buffet special.
