1-Start by getting your ingredients ready, which includes patting the steaks dry with paper towels and seasoning them generously with salt and pepper. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil to get it hot. Once it’s sizzling, sear the steaks for 3 to 4 minutes per side until they reach your preferred doneness, like medium rare.

2-In the last minute of cooking, drop in 2 tablespoons butter, 2 smashed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme or rosemary if you have it, then spoon that melted butter over the steaks for extra taste. Take the steaks out and let them rest on a plate covered loosely with tin foil. This rest time helps keep the juices inside.

3-Now for the Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce: Turn the heat down to medium in the same skillet and add 1 tablespoon butter with 3 minced garlic cloves. Sauté them for 1 to 2 minutes until they smell great. Pour in 1/4 cup bourbon carefully and let it simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.

4-Next, stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and salt and pepper to taste. Let this mix simmer and thicken for about 3 to 4 minutes, then add 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and mix well. Finally, pour the sauce over your rested steaks, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot with your favorite sides. The whole process is ready in just 30 minutes and serves 2 people.
