Ingredients

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions
1. Prepare the Steaks
Generously season both sides of the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper. Set them aside for a few minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Cook the Steaks
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear each side for 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or continue cooking until they reach your preferred level of doneness. Remove the steaks from the skillet and place them on a plate. Tent the plate with foil to keep the steaks warm while they rest.
3. Make the Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
4. Deglaze with Bourbon
Carefully pour the bourbon whiskey into the skillet. Stir well to deglaze the pan, making sure to incorporate all the flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the bourbon to cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the alcohol evaporate while the flavors concentrate.
5. Add Cream and Broth
Stir in the heavy cream, beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth texture.
6. Serve
Slice the rested ribeye steaks and place them on serving plates. Generously ladle the bourbon garlic cream sauce over the top of the steaks. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and added freshness.
