Ingredients

Scale

For the Steak:

  • 2 ribeye or strip steaks (about 10 oz each)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup bourbon
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep steaks: Rub steaks with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness. Transfer to a plate to rest.
  3. Sauté garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Deglaze: Pour bourbon into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced slightly.
  5. Build sauce: Stir in heavy cream, beef broth, Dijon, and Parmesan. Let simmer 4–5 minutes until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
  6. Combine: Return steaks to the skillet briefly and spoon sauce over the top.
  7. Serve: Garnish with parsley and serve with extra sauce on the side.
