Ingredients
  

Steaks
  • 2 pieces ribeye steaks Choose high-quality ribeye for best flavor
Sauce
  • 1/2 cup bourbon A mid-range bourbon works best
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced Adds depth of flavor
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped Use fresh herbs for the best taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped Alternative herbs can be used
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season generously
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For cooking the steaks
  • 1 tablespoon butter For a silky sauce texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper, ensuring they’re well-coated for maximum flavor.
Cooking
  1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
  2. Sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness.
  3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and tent them with foil to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring to prevent burning.
  5. Stir in the bourbon, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Add the fresh rosemary and thyme, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Stir in the butter until melted and well combined.
  8. Serve the cooked steaks drizzled with the bourbon garlic sauce, garnished with additional herbs if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to maintain tenderness. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute bourbon with apple cider vinegar or chicken broth.
