Ingredients

2 steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup beef broth

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

I start by seasoning both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.

Then, I heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, I add the steaks and cook them to my preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.

Once the steaks are cooked, I remove them from the skillet and set them aside to rest.

In the same skillet, I add the minced garlic and sauté it for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Carefully, I pour in the bourbon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. I let the bourbon simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to reduce slightly.

Next, I stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. I let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

I add the butter to the sauce and stir until it’s melted and smooth. At this point, I taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

To finish, I return the steaks to the pan, spooning the sauce over the top. I let them simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to reheat.

Before serving, I garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.

Storage/Reheating

To store any leftovers, I recommend placing the steak and sauce in an airtight container and refrigerating it. It should stay good for up to 2 days. When reheating, I find that gently warming it in a skillet over low heat is the best method to preserve the sauce’s creamy texture. Just make sure to reheat the steak and sauce together for even warmth.

FAQs

Can I use a different kind of alcohol in the sauce?

Yes! While bourbon is great for adding depth to the flavor, you can try using whiskey or even a bit of brandy if you prefer. Each option will give the sauce a slightly different profile, but all are delicious.

Can I make this dish without alcohol?

If you’d like to avoid the bourbon, you can substitute it with more beef broth, or for a slightly tangy twist, try using a little apple cider vinegar and beef broth to mimic the bourbon’s acidity and richness.

What type of steak should I use?

I love using ribeye or sirloin for this dish, but you can go with whatever cut you prefer or have on hand. Just make sure it’s a cut that you enjoy grilling or pan-searing to your desired level of doneness.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

You can definitely make the sauce ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to serve, gently reheat it on the stove, and then pour it over freshly cooked steaks.

What should I serve with this steak?

This steak is perfect with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a side of garlic buttered asparagus. A simple salad can also help balance the richness of the steak and sauce.

Conclusion

This Steak with Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce is a deliciously rich and indulgent dish that’s perfect for any occasion. The combination of the tender steak and creamy, bourbon-infused sauce makes each bite melt in your mouth. Whether you’re treating yourself to a special dinner or serving it to guests, this dish will definitely impress. Enjoy!
