Steaks With Whiskey Cream Sauce
Description
This elegant yet comforting dish features tender beef fillets resting on golden, mustard-buttered toast, topped with a luxurious whiskey cream sauce. The sauce is a perfect balance of rich dairy, savory beef bouillon, and the warm, smoky depth of whiskey, brightened by a hint of lemon and fresh parsley. It is a satisfying main course that feels special enough for date night but is simple enough for a relaxed weeknight dinner. The combination of the crisp toast and the silky sauce provides a delightful textural contrast.Ingredients
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cut bread slices into rounds or shapes roughly the same size as the steaks.
-
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of butter with the prepared French mustard until smooth.
-
Brush both sides of the bread slices with the mustard-butter mixture.
-
Place bread on an oven tray and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep warm.
-
While bread toasts, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Season steaks with salt and pepper. Cook steaks in the skillet according to desired doneness, turning once.
-
Remove steaks from the pan and place on a plate. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
-
Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving about 1 tablespoon of fat.
-
Reduce heat to medium. Add flour and minced shallot to the skillet, stirring constantly for a few seconds to cook the raw flour taste out.
-
Gradually whisk in water until smooth. Stir in cream, crumbled bouillon cube, whiskey, and lemon juice.
-
Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Stir in chopped parsley.
-
Place steaks on top of the toasted bread and spoon the whiskey cream sauce over the steaks. Serve immediately.
