# Ingredients:

→ For the Steak

01 - Fresh thyme or rosemary, if you want
02 - 2 cloves garlic, smashed
03 - 2 tablespoons butter
04 - Black pepper, to taste
05 - Salt, to taste
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 2 steaks, Ribeye or New York Strip, about 1 inch thick

→ For the Bourbon Garlic Creamy Sauce

08 - Fresh parsley, for topping
09 - 25 g Parmesan, shredded
10 - Black pepper, to taste
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
13 - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
14 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
15 - 240 ml heavy cream
16 - 1 tablespoon butter
17 - 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
18 - 60 ml bourbon

# Steps:

01 - Lay the steaks on plates, spoon over the hot Bourbon garlic cream sauce, then toss on some fresh parsley. Dig in right away.
02 - Add the shredded Parmesan and give it a taste, add more salt or pepper if you need to.
03 - Mix in cream, mustard, Worcestershire, cayenne, salt and pepper. Let that go for 3–4 minutes, stirring every once in a while till it gets nicely thick.
04 - Carefully pour the bourbon into your pan. Let it bubble for a minute or two until the strong alcohol smell is gone.
05 - Drop the heat to medium in the same pan. Melt a tablespoon of butter, then toss in the chopped garlic. Cook for a couple of minutes till it smells awesome.
06 - Move your steaks from the pan onto a plate, just lay some foil over them. Let them chill for 5 minutes.
07 - On the last minute of searing, throw in the butter, smashed garlic, and if you're using, the fresh herbs. Keep scooping that bubbling butter over the steaks.
08 - Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, pour in the olive oil. Sear steaks for around 3–4 minutes each side for medium-rare, or till they're as done as you like.
09 - Pat steaks dry with some paper towel, then sprinkle on salt and pepper all over.

# Notes:

01 - For smokier flavor, go with a smoky bourbon. Swap ribeye for sirloin if you want. Mashed potatoes or roasted veggies go great on the side.
