Ingredients:
2 ribeye steaks
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup bourbon
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
Remove the steaks and let them rest.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
Carefully add bourbon and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
Serve steaks topped with bourbon garlic cream sauce and garnish with parsley.
There are several ways to put your own spin on Steak with Ghostly Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce. For a bolder flavor, try using smoked bourbon or whiskey to enhance the depth of the sauce.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce when sautéing the garlic.
You can also substitute the ribeye with other cuts of steak, like filet mignon or New York strip, depending on your preference.
For a lighter variation, swap the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk, which will result in a slightly thinner sauce but still offer a rich flavor.
You could also add mushrooms to the sauce for a heartier texture or sauté shallots alongside the garlic for a sweeter, more delicate flavor.
To complement the dish, serve it with a variety of sides like garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a simple green salad to balance out the richness of the sauce.
For an extra touch of elegance, you could garnish the dish with crispy fried onions or blue cheese crumbles for an additional layer of flavor.
To store Steak with Ghostly Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce, allow the steaks and sauce to cool to room temperature before transferring them to separate airtight containers.
This will help preserve the quality of both the steak and the sauce.
Store the steak in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and the sauce for 2-3 days as well.
When reheating, warm the steak gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave at short intervals to avoid overcooking.
Reheat the sauce separately on low heat, stirring frequently until it reaches a smooth consistency again—add a splash of cream or broth if the sauce has thickened too much during storage.
Avoid freezing the sauce, as the cream may separate upon thawing, which could affect its texture.
