Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak

  • 2 steaks (ribeye or sirloin), about 8 oz each
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil

For the Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce

  • 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the Steaks: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the Steaks: Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness. Remove steaks from skillet and let rest.
  3. Prepare the Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Deglaze with Bourbon: Carefully pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Let simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.
  5. Add Cream and Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Serve: Place the rested steaks on plates and spoon the bourbon garlic cream sauce generously over the steaks. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a cast iron skillet or heavy pan for best sear and sauce development.
  • Ensure the pan is not too hot when adding garlic to avoid burning its delicate flavor.
  • For a non-alcohol version, substitute bourbon with beef broth and a splash of vanilla extract for flavor.
  • Allow steaks to rest after cooking to retain juices.
  • This sauce pairs well with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
