Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly in foil. Roast for 30-35 minutes or until cloves are soft and golden.
While garlic is roasting, peel and cube the potatoes. Boil them in salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the softened cloves out of their skins and set aside.
Using a sharp knife, slice a pocket into the side of each steak. Stuff a few roasted garlic cloves into each pocket, pressing gently to seal.
Season the outside of the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side to create a golden crust, then transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking to your preferred doneness (approximately 5-7 minutes for medium). Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving.
While the steaks are cooking, drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, 2-3 roasted garlic cloves, and heavy cream until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
For the sauce, finely dice the shallot. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the shallot until soft, about 2 minutes.
Add balsamic vinegar and beef broth to the saucepan. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces and thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Plate the garlic mashed potatoes, place the steak on top, and drizzle with balsamic cream sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme if desired and serve immediately.
