Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cook the steak in the oven for 5-7 minutes until it reaches your desired temperature (130°F to 135°F for medium-rare).
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
