Steak Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream (Print-Friendly Version)

Tender steak paired with a bold bourbon garlic cream sauce and subtle spiced notes—a twist on classic comfort.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 steaks, cut of choice

→ Sauce

02 - 1/4 cup bourbon
03 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
04 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
06 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
07 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - Salt, to taste
09 - Ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.
02 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides until they reach your preferred doneness. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
03 - Melt butter in the same skillet. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
04 - Carefully pour bourbon into the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Allow alcohol to simmer and reduce for 2 minutes.
05 - Lower heat to medium. Stir in heavy cream and combine thoroughly. Simmer the sauce until slightly thickened, around 5 minutes.
06 - Return steaks to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top to coat. Serve immediately with remaining sauce on the side.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Opt for a high-quality bourbon to enhance the sauce’s complexity. Adjust cayenne pepper for desired heat. Pair with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
