Ingredients:
2 ribeye steaks (or your favorite cut)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup bourbon
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup beef broth
2 tbsp unsalted butter
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Season your steak: Pat your steaks dry with a paper towel, then generously season both sides with salt and pepper. You’re setting the stage for some serious flavor here, so don’t be shy with the seasoning!
Sear the steak: Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron is perfect for this!) over high heat. Once the pan is super hot, place your steaks in and sear for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. You want a good, crispy crust on the outside while keeping it juicy inside. Once done, remove from the pan and let the steaks rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
Make the ghostly bourbon sauce: In the same pan (don’t wash it, all those steak drippings are flavor gold!), lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant—watch out, you don’t want it to burn!
Add the bourbon: Carefully pour in the bourbon (yes, it will sizzle and bubble—spooky!). Stir and let it cook for a minute or two, allowing the alcohol to burn off, leaving you with that smoky, rich bourbon essence.
Finish the sauce: Add the beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the butter for that silky, luxurious finish. If you want it extra creamy, you can add a little more cream.
Serve it up: Slice your steaks against the grain and drizzle that hauntingly good bourbon garlic cream sauce all over them. Garnish with a little fresh parsley if you want to brighten things up.
Dig in: Enjoy every tender, flavorful bite of steak with that dreamy, ghostly sauce. Perfect for a cozy night in, with a touch of spooky flair!
This is one steak dinner you won’t forget anytime soon—delicious, rich, and just a little bit spooky!
