Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (about 10–12 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Steaks: Rub olive oil, salt, and pepper all over the steaks. Let them rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Sear the Steaks: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preference. Set the steaks aside to rest.
- Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in the bourbon and deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits. Let the alcohol cook off for 2 minutes.
- Create the Cream Sauce: Add the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Serve: Pour the sauce over the steaks, garnish with extra thyme, and serve hot.
Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the bourbon with beef broth or apple cider.
- You can adjust the garlic to your taste if you prefer a stronger or milder flavor.
- This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
