Method

Preparation

Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Cooking the Steak

Once oil is hot, add the seasoned steaks to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.

Making the Sauce

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Carefully pour in the bourbon and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme; bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes.

Finishing Touches

Coat the rested steaks with the creamy sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Let the steaks rest after cooking to ensure juiciness. Use high-quality cream and adjust seasoning to taste. Pairs beautifully with roasted asparagus or garlic mashed potatoes.
