Steak with Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce

Steak with Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce Ingredients: For the Steak: 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick) 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons butter 2 garlic cloves, smashed Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional) For the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce: 1/4 cup bourbon 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon butter 1 cup heavy cream 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for a haunting kick) Salt and pepper to taste 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Fresh parsley for garnish Instructions: Prepare the steak: Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare), or to your preferred doneness. In the last minute of cooking, add butter, garlic, and fresh herbs (if using), and spoon the butter over the steaks. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil. 2. Make the haunted bourbon garlic cream sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Carefully pour in the bourbon and allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off. 3. Add the cream and seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if needed. 4. Serve: Pour the haunted bourbon garlic cream sauce over the rested steaks and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite sides. Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes Servings: 2 servings | Calories: 700 kcal per serving
