How To Do It

Whiskey Elixir: A Spirited Sauce for Steak

Instructions

1. Sear the Steak: Start by searing your steak to your desired level of doneness. Set it aside to rest while you prepare the sauce.

2. Deglaze the Pan: In the same pan you cooked the steak, melt 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté them until they become fragrant and slightly translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

3. Flambe with Whiskey: Carefully pour in the whiskey into the pan. Be cautious as it may ignite briefly. Allow the alcohol to cook off, which should take about 2 minutes. Stir to scrape up any flavorful bits stuck to the pan.

4. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine the seasonings with the mixture.

5. Incorporate Beef Stock: Pour in the beef stock and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing it to reduce by half. This will intensify the flavors of the sauce.

6. Stir in Cream: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

7. Add Mustard: Stir in the whole-grain mustard, which adds a delightful tang and texture to the sauce. Continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

8. Final Adjustments: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can add more salt or black pepper to suit your taste.

9. Serve: Pour this rich and savory whiskey sauce generously over your seared steak. It pairs wonderfully with the beef's flavors, adding a delightful kick of whiskey-infused goodness.

Enjoy your perfectly complemented steak with this homemade whiskey sauce!
