Bourbon Pepper Steak

Recipe Ingredients

4		New York cut strip steaks - (8 oz ea) - trimmed of all
		Visible fat
4 tablespoons	60ml	Cracked black peppercorns - (more if desired)
		Salt - to taste
1 tablespoon	15ml	Pure olive oil
1/4 cup	59ml	Good Kentucky bourbon
1/2 cup	118ml	Red wine
1/2 cup	118ml	Brown stock
1 tablespoon	15ml	Unsalted butter

Recipe Instructions

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 by half. Add the Beef and Veal 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.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
