Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks and cook them to your preferred doneness, about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté it for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the bourbon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Add the butter to the sauce and stir until it’s melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Return the steaks to the pan, spoon the sauce over the top, and let them simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to reheat.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Feel free to use whiskey or brandy instead of bourbon for a different flavor profile.

If avoiding alcohol, substitute bourbon with more beef broth or a mix of apple cider vinegar and beef broth.

This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or garlic buttered asparagus.

The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
