Ingredients

For the Steak:

• 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 1 inch thick)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary) for garnish

For the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce:

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup bourbon
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak:

• Let the steaks come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the steaks.
• Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and let them rest while you make the sauce.

2. Make the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce:

• In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
• Carefully pour in the bourbon (be cautious as it may flare up) and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
• Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Serve:

• Slice the steak against the grain and place it on plates. Drizzle the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce generously over the steak.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and herbs. Serve with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
