20 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 rib eye steaks, 2-2 1/2 inch thick
2 cups parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Steps:

Preheat a saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and the garlic. Pan roast garlic, tossing once, allowing to brown for about 5-10 minute.
Drain the cloves through a strainer. Reserve the oil if you want for roasted garlic flavored oil -- yummy!
Allow garlic to cool then roughly mash with a fork.
Add thyme and mash again. Then add Dijon mustard and mix again.
Preheat oven to 450ºF and preheat the grill or grill pan to high heat.
Season steaks with salt and pepper and press the seasonings in well. Drizzle the steaks with some olive oil.
Grill meat to brown it, about 5 min on each side.
Remove the steaks from the grill and place on a large cookie sheet.
Top with garlic-mustard mixture generously.
Then place a large pile of Parmesan cheese on top and spread out to edges of the steak with you fingers.
Place steaks in the oven for 8-10 min, letting the cheese melt and steaks finish cooking.
