A quick and easy recipe for bourbon-glazed ribeye steaks finished with a creamy garlic butter glaze, perfect for busy weeknights or impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 1-inch thick, 12 oz/340g each)
  • 1/4 cup bourbon (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (about 60g), softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring steaks to room temperature by letting them sit covered on the counter for 10 minutes.
  2. Prepare garlic butter glaze by mixing softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Make bourbon glaze by combining bourbon, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and reduce until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  5. Heat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  6. Sear steaks for about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare (internal temperature ~130°F/54°C), adjusting time for preferred doneness. Use tongs to flip without piercing the meat.
  7. During the last minute of cooking, brush bourbon glaze generously on both sides of the steaks and let it caramelize slightly, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Transfer steaks to a plate, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5-7 minutes.
  9. Spoon the prepared garlic butter glaze over the warm steaks so it melts luxuriously.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Preheat the skillet well before adding oil for a perfect sear. Use a meat thermometer to achieve desired doneness. Resting the steak after cooking is crucial for juicy meat. Watch the bourbon glaze closely to avoid burning. For dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil. For gluten-free, ensure Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free or substitute with tamari.
