Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Feel free to substitute with your favorite cut of steak or use half-and-half if you want a lighter sauce. This recipe is all about making it work for you and your pantry.
Instructions
- Start by patting the steaks dry with a paper towel, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Transfer the steaks to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- Carefully pour in the bourbon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to cook off.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the pan.
- Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to let the flavors meld for an additional 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Cooking tip: If your sauce isn’t thickening as quickly as you’d like, try letting it simmer a bit longer or adding a touch more cream. Patience is key, and a little extra love never hurts.
