Instructions

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, and wait until it shimmers.
  3. Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 4–5 minutes without moving it.
  4. Flip the steak and sear the second side for another 4–5 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
  5. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5–7 minutes.
  6. In the same skillet, return to medium heat and add the remaining oil and butter.
  7. Add smashed garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add finely chopped garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  8. Pour in the bourbon extract and chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the skillet.
  9. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
  10. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1–3 minutes.
  11. Slice the rested steak and spoon the sauce over the top before serving.
