Creamy Mushroom Whiskey Steak Sauce Food

CREAMY MUSHROOM WHISKEY STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Heat the butter in saute pan over medium heat. When the butter starts bubbling, add the onions and saute until the onions are soft, transluscent and just slightly golden. Take care not to burn the onions by keeping your heat on medium or even medium-low. This will take about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.
• 2. Turn your heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms all at once. Immediately start tossing so that the onion/garlic/butter mixture is evenly distributed amongst the mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms until they are browned and softened, about 3-5 minutes depending on the size of your mushrooms.
• 3. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour in the whisky and the balsamic vinegar and let the mixture bubble a bit to burn off some of the alcohol. Turn the heat down just a bit and add in the heavy cream. Let it bubble for another 30 seconds and then taste to adjust the salt. Stir in the freshly minced herbs and pour over just-grilled steak.

WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the onions in the 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. When the onions are brown, turn off the burner temporarily so you won't ignite your kitchen. Or yourself.
• Pour in the whiskey. As soon as it evaporates, turn the burner on medium-high heat and pour in the beef stock. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce by half.
• Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter, then reduce the heat to low. Whisk in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup cream, according to your taste. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for a few minutes.
• Serve with beef, baby!

STEAK RECIPE WITH WHISKEY MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Season the steak on both sides with salt and pepper. Let steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Rub both sides of the steak with cooking oil.
• 2. Heat an oven-safe pan (cast iron preferred) over high heat. When very hot, add the steak to the pan and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip steak and cook an additional 5 minutes. Place entire pan into oven to cook for 5-7 minutes, timing depends on thickness of steak and desired temperature. For 1-inch thick steak, I recommend 5 minutes and then check internal temperature of the steak. For 1 1/2 inch steaks, I recommend checking temperature at the 7 minute mark. 125-130F = rare 130-140F = medium rare 140-150F = medium 150-155F = medium well 160-212F = well-done
• 3. While the steak is the oven, let's cook the mushroom sauce. Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat with the butter. When the butter starts bubbling, add in the mushrooms and the onions. Stir and cook until onions are fragrant and softened.
• 4. Pour in the water, chicken bouillon, mustard, whiskey and season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat to low and let simmer for 2 minutes. Just before serving, pour over the steak.
• 5. Enjoy!

Cook until wine is mostly evaporated, about 1 minute.
