# 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.
