The Ingredients You Need

To create this spooky and scrumptious masterpiece, you’ll need a few key ingredients. For the steak, you’ll require 2 ribeye or New York strip steaks (about 1 inch thick), along with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 garlic cloves, and fresh thyme or rosemary (optional).

For the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce, you’ll need 1/4 cup of bourbon, 3 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of butter, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (for a haunting kick), salt, pepper, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley for garnish.

Preparation Steps for the Steak

First, start by patting the steaks dry with paper towels and seasoning both sides generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot. Add the steaks and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. During the last minute of cooking, add the butter, smashed garlic, and fresh herbs to the pan, basting the steaks with the melted butter. Once the steaks are cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest.

Crafting the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Carefully add the bourbon and let it cook for 30 seconds to burn off the alcohol. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the butter, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Simmer the sauce for 3-5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Finally, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for another minute until the sauce is creamy and smooth.

Serving Suggestions

To serve, place the seared steaks on a plate and generously spoon the Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley for a visually stunning presentation. This dish pairs exceptionally well with roasted potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad, creating a truly spooktacular dining experience.
