Description
Indulge in a perfectly seared New York strip steak with a luxurious bourbon garlic cream sauce that clings to every slice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12-oz.) boneless New York strip steak
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 2 Tbsp neutral oil, divided
- 2 Tbsp cold unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic — 2 smashed, 4 finely chopped
- 1/4 cup bourbon extract
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, and wait until it shimmers.
- Add the steak to the skillet and sear for 4–5 minutes without moving it.
- Flip the steak and sear the second side for another 4–5 minutes until desired doneness is reached.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for at least 5–7 minutes.
- In the same skillet, return to medium heat and add the remaining oil and butter.
- Add smashed garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add finely chopped garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
- Pour in the bourbon extract and chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits from the skillet.
- Simmer for 1–2 minutes to concentrate the flavors.
- Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 1–3 minutes.
- Slice the rested steak and spoon the sauce over the top before serving.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, you can substitute bourbon extract with real bourbon. Serve with buttery mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
