Steak with Whiskey Mushroom Cream Sauce
2 One inch thick steaks
2 Cups of sliced Mushrooms (porcini/baby bellas is what I use)
1/4 Cup of whiskey or scotch
1/2 Pint of cream
1/4 Cup of butter
2 Cloves of garlic
Seasoning and herbs
1. Season the steaks to your taste. I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, basil and thyme
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat (I recommend a non-stick skillet) and then lightly coat the skillet with oil.
3. Cook steaks to desired doneness. I like medium-rare (about 5 minutes per side). Remove and cover with aluminum foil to rest.
4. Melt butter in pan.
5. Add garlic and mushrooms. Sautee until mushrooms are soft. (~2 minutes)
6. Add whiskey stir and allow to reduce for 2 minutes.
7. Add cream, and cook. You will need to stir constantly for 2 minutes.
8. Plate the steaks and cover with sauce.
