Categories     main-dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (8-ounce) New York cut strip steaks, trimmed of all visible fat
4 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns (more if desired)
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon pure olive oil
1/4 cup good Kentucky bourbon
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup brown stock
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

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.

Categories     Bourbon     Beef Tenderloin     Winter     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 teaspoons four-peppercorn spice mix or whole black peppercorns
6 6- to 8-ounce beef tenderloin steaks
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2/3 cup bourbon
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
2/3 cup beef stock or canned beef broth

Steps:

  • Coarsely crush peppercorns in mortar with pestle. Season steaks with salt. Sprinkle peppercorns over both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook to desired doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  • Meanwhile, heat bourbon in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Remove from heat; carefully ignite with match. Let burn 30 seconds, then cover to extinguish flame.
  • Transfer steaks to plates; tent with foil to keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon butter and shallots to drippings in skillet; sauté 2 minutes. Add stock and bourbon; boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining 5 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking just until melted. Spoon sauce over steaks and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for a good quality bourbon that is at least 80 proof.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of peppercorns. Black peppercorns are the most common, but you can also use white, green, or pink peppercorns for a different flavor profile.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream, you can substitute milk or even water. However, the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or fish. It also makes a great dipping sauce for bread or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This bourbon peppercorn pan sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your meal, give this sauce a try.
