Grilled Rib-Eye With Wasabi-Garlic Paste

• 1 tablespoon wasabi powder or paste
• 2 or 3 large cloves garlic
• Salt
• 1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
• 2 large or 4 small rib-eye steaks, 24 to 32 ounces

1. Prepare a gas or charcoal grill or heat a large heavy skillet until it is just smoking.
2. Place wasabi powder in a small bowl, and add about 1 tablespoon cold water.
3. Stir to dissolve, adding water if necessary to make a paste.
4. If you are using the paste, squeeze it into a bowl.
5. Smash and peel garlic, then sprinkle it with salt, and mince it finely.
6. Stir into wasabi along with oil until smooth.
7. Grill the meat on one side until well browned, 4 or 5 minutes.
8. Season the uncooked side with salt, then turn, and smear the cooked side with the paste.
9. Cook 2 to 5 minutes longer, depending on the doneness you like, and serve.
