Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 ribeye steaks
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Cooking Liquids and Fats:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) bourbon
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Apply a generous coating of salt and pepper to both surfaces of the ribeye steaks.
- Preheat a large skillet to medium-high temperature with olive oil, creating a sizzling hot cooking surface.
- Expertly sear each steak for 3-4 minutes per side, achieving a rich golden-brown crust while maintaining desired internal temperature.
- Transfer steaks to a resting plate, allowing juices to redistribute and meat to relax.
- Reduce skillet heat and introduce finely chopped garlic, releasing its aromatic essence for approximately 60 seconds.
- Deglaze the pan with bourbon, using a wooden spoon to lift caramelized meat fragments from the skillet’s bottom.
- Allow bourbon to simmer and reduce by half, concentrating its robust flavor profile.
- Incorporate heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth, velvety sauce.
- Simmer sauce for 3-4 minutes until it reaches a luxurious, thickened consistency.
- Remove from heat and fold in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and integrated.
- Cascade the bourbon garlic cream sauce luxuriously over the rested steaks.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately for maximum flavor and temperature.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality ribeye steaks with good marbling to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness during cooking.
- Let steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking to guarantee even heat distribution and more consistent doneness.
- Use cast-iron skillet for superior heat retention and perfect sear, creating delicious caramelized crust on the steak’s exterior.
- Adjust bourbon quantity based on personal preference, reducing alcohol content for milder flavor or adding more for robust depth.
