Bourbon Peppercorn Steak Sauce Food

BOURBON PEPPER PAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Be especially generous with the pepper.
• Melt duck fat in a steel pan over medium-high heat. Add steaks; cook until firm and reddish-pink in the center for medium-rare, about 5 minutes per side. Sear the edges until browned, about 30 seconds each. Transfer steaks to a plate; let rest while you make the sauce. Turn off the heat.
• Stir garlic into the same pan using a spoon. Add 1 teaspoon butter; let melt. Pour in bourbon. Heat until reduced to a sticky glaze, about 15 seconds. Add chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat while scraping up the browned bits at the bottom to deglaze. Cook until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add heavy cream; season with salt and cayenne pepper. Boil until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn off heat and add remaining 2 teaspoons butter; swirl until melted, about 30 seconds more. Spoon sauce warm onto serving plates. Place steaks on top.

BOURBON PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Coat the steaks with the cracked pepper and season with salt. Place the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet and heat 1 minute before adding the steaks. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove the steaks to warm serving plates. Drain the excess fat from the pan and carefully add the bourbon, away from the heat. Reduce the heat to low and reduce the bourbon until the pan is nearly dry. Add the red wine, raise the heat to medium, and reduce the half. Add the brown stock, bring to a boil, cook 6 minutes and "finish" by swirling the butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat and divide the sauce among the steaks.

BOURBON PEPPERCORN GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine the first 10 ingredients in a small sauce pan. Stir mixture and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove crushed garlic cloves with a slotted spoon. In a small dish, combine remaining 1/4 cup of water with the cornstarch and stir until cornstarch is dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture to the Bourbon Peppercorn Glaze while whisking. Continue to stir and bring mixture back to a boil or until thickened. Remove from heat, and serve immediately on your favorite steak. Bourbon Peppercorn Sauce can be kept refrigerated in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. Just reheat to serve!

BOURBON PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Mix the various peppercorns in a wide flat dish. Coat the steaks with the cracked pepper and season with salt. Place the olive oil in a cast iron skillet and heat one minute before adding the steaks. If necessary cook the steaks in two batches. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Place the steaks on warm serving plates. Drain the excess fat from the pan and carefully add the bourbon, away from the heat. Reduce the heat to low and reduce the bourbon until the pan is nearly dry. Add the veal stock, bring to a boil, cook 3 to 5 minutes, and finish by swirling the heavy cream and butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat and divide the sauce among the steaks.;

SIRLOIN STEAK WITH BOURBON PEPPERCORN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Add the potatoes and 1/2 tablespoon salt to a large pot and cover with water. Boil until fork tender, about 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer to a large bowl. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, butter and heavy cream, then mash until smooth. Cover and set aside.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, adding more as needed. Once hot, add the steaks to the pan. Sear undisturbed about 4-5 minutes until nicely browned. Flip the steaks and sear the other side 4-5 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads about 140°F for medium doneness, or adjust the cook time to achieve desired internal temperature (see notes). Keep in mind that the internal temperature of the steaks will continue to rise another 5-10 degrees after removed from the heat.
• Transfer the steaks to a plate and loosely cover with tinfoil. Let rest while you prepare the cream sauce.
• Using the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and whisk in the flour.
• While whisking, pour in the bourbon and let simmer about 30-60 seconds, or until reduced by half. Then pour in the beef broth. Simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and whisk in the heavy cream, pepper, salt and dijon mustard. Continue simmering, about 1-2 minutes, or until thickened (do not let it boil rapidly).
• Serve steaks over mashed potatoes and drizzled with bourbon peppercorn cream sauce. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley, fresh cracked peppercorns and flakey sea salt.
