Cooking Steps
- Preheat a metal pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, allowing it to shimmer. Season the steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.
- Add 2 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter and 2 smashed cloves of garlic. Baste the steak with the melted butter for about 1 minute, then transfer the pan to a pre-heated oven at 400°F.
- Cook the steak in the oven for 5-7 minutes until it reaches your desired temperature (130°F to 135°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the steak from the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes. Return the pan to the stove, discard loose juices, and sauté 4 finely chopped cloves of garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the bourbon and scrape the pan to incorporate browned bits. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until alcohol evaporates. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well; simmer for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain into thick slices. Plate and spoon the bourbon garlic cream sauce on top.

Notes
Allow the steak to rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking. Searing properly in a hot pan is vital for flavor and texture. Taste the sauce before serving to adjust seasoning if needed.
