Steak with Haunted Bourbon Garlic Cream Sauce

Season Steaks: Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.

Cook Steaks: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks to your desired doneness (about 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness). Remove steaks and set aside to rest.

Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add Bourbon: Pour in bourbon and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to cook off the alcohol.

Make Cream Sauce: Add heavy cream and stir to combine. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Finish Steaks: Return steaks to the skillet and spoon the bourbon garlic cream sauce over them.

Serve: Plate steaks hot, spooning extra sauce over the top. Enjoy immediately.
