Ingredients
- 4 (8-ounce) New York cut strip steaks, trimmed of all visible fat
- 4 tablespoons cracked black peppercorns (more if desired)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon pure olive oil
- 1/4 cup good Kentucky bourbon
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1/2 cup brown stock
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Coat the steaks with the cracked pepper and season with salt. Place the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet and heat 1 minute before adding the steaks. Cook over medium heat 3 minutes on each side for medium rare. Remove the steaks to warm serving plates. Drain the excess fat from the pan and carefully add the bourbon, away from the heat. Reduce the heat to low and reduce the bourbon until the pan is nearly dry. Add the red wine, raise the heat to medium, and reduce the half. Add the brown stock, bring to a boil, cook 6 minutes and "finish" by swirling the butter into the sauce. Remove from the heat and divide the sauce among the steaks.

Very tasty. I think next time I'll add some sliced mushrooms into the sauce. Darn the house smells nice while it's cooking!

This is an easy one to fix. Used the recipe on some inch thick New York strips. I did not reduce the sauce down far enough and it didn't sit on the steaks like I expected it to. It was really really good though. Will try it again another time with a little less peppercorn and a further reduction in the sauce. Or thicken a little to get it to sit on the steak.
Excellent choice....might add double Bourbon next time too ;
