Steak with Bourbon Garlic Sauce

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for 2-3 minutes then flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and 2 smashed garlic cloves. Continue to cook for 1-2 minutes and spoon the butter over the steak, once melted.
4. Transfer the steak to the baking sheet and bake for 8-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 125 degrees F. If you want the center to be less pink, cook longer. Transfer any remaining butter and the 2 crushed garlic cloves from the skillet to a bowl and set aside.
5. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp oil to the same skillet and heat over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the bourbon and cook until reduced by half, about 60 seconds.
6. Add the broth, heavy cream, and reserved butter/crushed garlic and stir to combine. Let simmer while the steak finishes baking. Right before you take the steak out of the oven, combine the water and cornstarch and add to the sauce. Stir to combine and let the sauce thicken. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat.
7. Remove the steak from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then, slice against the grain into thin slices. Transfer to a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy!
