Whiskey cream sauce for steak

This sauce is quick enough for weeknights yet impressive enough for romantic dinners or special occasions. It pairs beautifully with ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon, and also works well drizzled over roasted chicken or pork medallions. With just a handful of ingredients and 10 minutes of cooking, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making it all along.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
16g
1 shallot
50g
1/4 cup whiskey
50g
1 cup heavy whipping cream
230g
1 tsp mustard
5g
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
5g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook aromatics: After cooking your steak, keep the pan with drippings on medium heat. Add butter and sauté shallot for 2–3 minutes until soft.
2. Deglaze with whiskey: Pour whiskey into the pan, stirring to lift browned bits. Let it reduce by half (about 2 minutes). Carefully flambé if desired.
3. Add cream and flavorings: Stir in cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
4. Season: Taste and adjust with salt and pepper.
5. Serve: Spoon over freshly cooked steak immediately.

Tips:

- Cream: Use heavy cream to avoid curdling.

- Consistency: If sauce gets too thick, add a splash of beef stock.

- Extra depth: Add a teaspoon of cracked green peppercorns for a Steak au Poivre twist.

- Versatility: Works just as well on pork chops or roasted chicken.

This whiskey sauce for steak is indulgent yet simple, making it ideal for both special occasions and quick weeknight meals. Its velvety texture and rich flavor will elevate any cut of meat, and once you master it, you’ll never go back to plain steak again.
