Sirloin Steak With Bourbon Peppercorn Cream Sauce Recipes

KENTUCKY BOURBON SIRLOIN STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Put the black peppercorns in a wide, flat dish. Press the steaks into the peppers to coat them on all sides, then season with salt. Set aside.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat for 1 minute. Add the steaks, two at a time if necessary to avoid overcrowding, and cook for 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer each steak to a dinner plate and set aside.
• 3. Add the shallots to the pan and cook for 2 minutes over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the bourbon, then carefully return the pan to the stove over low heat and cook until the bourbon is almost entirely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Pour in the broth, raise the heat to high, bring it to a boil, and continue to boil until reduced and thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Swirl in the cream and the butter and warm gently.
• 4. Pour some sauce over each steak and serve.

BOURBON PEPPER STEAK

Steps:

• Mix the various peppercorns in a wide flat dish. Coat the steaks with the cracked pepper and season with salt. Place the olive oil in a cast iron skillet and heat one minute before adding the steaks. If necessary cook the steaks in two batches. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Place the steaks on 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 veal stock, bring to a boil, cook 3 to 5 minutes, and finish by swirling the heavy cream and butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat and divide the sauce among the steaks.;
