Description
Steak with Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce elevates dinner with its rich flavors and creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds ribeye steak
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking so it can come to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place the ribeye steak in the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.
- Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a plate while you prepare the sauce.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the butter.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Carefully pour in the bourbon. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to cook off the alcohol and reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika.
- Simmer the sauce for about 3–5 minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Return the steak to the pan and spoon the sauce over it, letting it warm for about 1 minute.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of the steak.
- Letting the steak rest before slicing helps retain its juices.
- This sauce can also be used with chicken or pork.
