Steak With Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce

A quick and flavor-packed dinner, Steak with Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce features tender ribeye steaks seared to perfection and finished with a silky, garlicky bourbon cream sauce that’s bold, buttery, and restaurant-worthy—ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ribeye steaks about 1 inch thick
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Pat the ribeyes dry with paper towels to help them sear well. Generously season both sides with salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the steaks. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness. You’re looking for a rich brown crust. Transfer steaks to a plate and tent with foil to rest.
  • Lower the heat slightly. Slowly pour the bourbon into the skillet—it will sizzle. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes so the alcohol cooks off and flavor concentrates.
  • Stir in the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Watch closely—don’t let it brown too much.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until combined. Simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Turn off the heat and add the butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust with salt or pepper if needed.
  • Return the ribeyes to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the top and warm for another 1-2 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
