Ingredients You’ll Need
Prepare to savor the rich flavors of this Skillet Bourbon Steak by gathering the following ingredients:
For the Steak:
- 4 boneless ribeye or New York strip steaks (approximately 1 inch thick).
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced.
- 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
For the Bourbon Sauce:
- 1/4 cup of bourbon whiskey.
- 1/4 cup of beef broth.
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
- 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.
- 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
- 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce.
- Salt and black pepper to taste.
For Garnish (Optional):
- Fresh parsley, chopped.
- Bourbon-soaked cherries (for a delightful twist).
Preparing Your Skillet Bourbon Steak
Step 1: Season and Sear the Steak
- Begin by seasoning both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and rosemary sprigs, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Place the seasoned steaks in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or to your preferred level of doneness (medium-rare, medium, etc.). Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest.
Step 2: Create the Bourbon Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the bourbon whiskey. Be cautious, as it may flame briefly. Let it simmer for a minute to allow the alcohol to cook off.
- Stir in the beef broth, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and reduces by half.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 3: Glaze the Steaks
