This steak is a special meal when topped with grilled onions and flavorful bourbon pepper sauce. Cast Iron Steak is a winner!

So, this recipe today is FREAKING DELICIOUS.

Like, lick your plate clean amazing.

It’s all in the sauce, people.

I know these pictures are kind of weird with all the onions and peppercorns going on, but trust me when I say you must stop what you are doing and make this immediately.

I asked my husband to describe this dish to me just now and he was like “What do you mean?” *awkward 12 second pause* “It’s like…a 10.”

So there ya go.

He’s so…….eloquent.

If you need to impress someone with a recipe and they happen to like red meat, then this is your ticket, man.

Not too difficult to throw together AND the sauce is literally 5 ingredients including salt and pepper. Just be careful to NOT set your kitchen a-blaze. Cooking with alcohol is simple, just slightly dangerous and stress inducing. My daughter had a minor melt down because she saw large flames and wasn’t expecting it. After 6 seconds they were gone, but there were still tears.

My husband also reached for the fire extinguisher, but that’s a different story.

Needless to say, I am not liable for your house burning down. Only mine.

{Relax Gord, we have something called IN-SUR-ANCE.}

Not a whole lot of step by step photos today because my kitchen is a dark hole. Sorry.

Have a fabulous Thurrsday!

Ingredients

• ▢ 4 3/4 inch NY Strip Steaks
• ▢ salt & pepper
• ▢ 1 tablespoon canola oil

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

• Remove steaks from fridge and sit out on counter 30 minutes to 1 hour. You want it to be loosey goosey. Sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper and press it into the meat.
• Preheat large cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Place oil in pan, swirl around, then add in the steaks. Cook 3-4 minutes*, then turn. Cook again for another 3-4 minutes, then remove from the pan and cover with foil.
• Turn off heat and pour bourbon into the hot pan. Let the heat of the hot pan cook off the alcohol for 2-3 minutes, then light the pan using a longer lighter {12"} to cook off remaining alcohol. Be smart, people! I am not liable for any homes that burn to the ground because of this recipe, PS.
• Turn pan back on the heat, stir in beef consommé, cream and peppercorns. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly. Taste and add in more salt if needed.
• Place steak on plates, top with grilled onions and sauce. Serve.
