WHISKEY STEAK

Category: Steaks - Beef

2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 (6 oz) filet mignons
1/2 cup whiskey
1 tsp minced shallots
1/4 tsp EACH minced fresh thyme leaves and black pepper
1/4 cup beef stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp EACH Worcestershire sauce and salted butter
Salt

Preheat oven to 250. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place filets in the skillet and cook to desired degree of doneness, turning once; the filets should have a dark brown, well-seared exterior.

If the filets are well-seared but not cooked to your desired degree of doneness, then transfer filets to the oven and cook until desired doneness.

In the same skillet the filets were browned in, add the whiskey, shallots, thyme and pepper, be careful as the whiskey will flame for 30-60 seconds. Reduce by half over high heat. Remove from heat and add butter; mixing well to incorporate. Season with salt, to taste. Ladle sauce over the steak and serve.
