📋 Ingredients:

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks (about 8 oz each) 🥩
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil 🛢️
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional) 🌿

For the Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 🧈
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
  • 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey 🥃
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
  • 1/4 cup beef broth 🍲
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 🌿
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
  • Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
  • Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿

📝 Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steaks:

  1. Season the steaks:
  • Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  1. Sear the steaks:
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your desired level of doneness (adjust for thicker steaks). Add the thyme sprigs to the pan for extra flavor.
  1. Rest the steaks:
  • Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.

2. Make the Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce:

  1. Sauté the garlic:
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  1. Deglaze with bourbon:
  • Carefully pour in the bourbon and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the bourbon simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.
  1. Add the cream and broth:
  • Stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for 3-4 minutes.
  1. Stir in Parmesan:
  • Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts into the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Serve:

  1. Plate the steaks:
  • Place the rested steaks on plates and spoon the bourbon garlic cream sauce generously over the top.
  1. Garnish and enjoy:
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve your Steak with Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side of your choice.
