Step 1

If you want to make black garlic in it's self you need a rice cooker that is able to run at a temperature that is deisgned to keep your rice warm. You need to let this cooker run for 8 weeks straight.

Step 2

Fill your rice cooker up with whole bulbs of garlic.

Step 3

After around 8 weeks your garlic turns black from the inside and the aroma is getting very nice again after weeks of smelling rotten.

Step 4

Then you are left with black looking dried out garlic cloves which you also can find in de store nowadays. You need around 25 cloves of that for this recipe.

Step 5

Grind them down into a dust in your grinder.

Step 6

Build the base for your mayonaise and at the garlic after the rest. Perform a taste test to be sure if you need more or less; I'm using 3 tbsp for this recipe. Then it's done and you can keep it aside for the recipe or store it for another time.

Step 7

Fire up your smoker or BBQ and set it for indirect heat. In my case I'm using the Masterbuilt smoker which i can use for direct heat as well.

Step 8

Add a chunk of apple smoke wood if you have that ability.

Step 9

Let them smoke on a aluminium dripping tray untill they reach a temperature of 65°C/150°F

Step 10

Change the BBQ setup for direct heat.

Step 11

Brush the mayonaise on top of the steaks and put them on that searing hot grill grate mayonaise pointing down.

Step 12

Get that almost instant char and flip them.

Step 13

Brush the other side as well and flip again.

Step 14

Let it rest for 10 minutes and serve with some more mayonaise on top.
