Expert Tips That I Recommend

Use a hot cast iron skillet. Make sure the pan is hot before you add the steak.
While cooking, do not overcrowd the pan with steaks, as this prevents them from cooking properly.
If possible, let the Bourbon sauce cook in the same pan, as it adds rich flavor.
Do not overcook the steak; cook it for only 30-60 seconds.

Recipe Variation for Different Diets

Keto Version: Swap soy sauce for coconut aminos; check whether Worcestershire is gluten-free. Replace monk fruit sweetener with brown sugar, and half-and-half with heavy cream. Add only 2-3 tablespoons of bourbon to the sauce.
Gluten-Free: Swap soy sauce for gluten-free tamari, and check whether Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free. Replace light brown sugar with gluten-free sugar. Double-check whether Dijon mustard and half-and-half are gluten-free.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe

Storing

Once the recipe is prepared, let the steak and sauce cool down completely, then store in an airtight container. Place it in the refrigerator, and it will stay fresh for 3 to 4 days.
You can also freeze the steak and sauce for longer. All you need to do is keep them in different freezer bags and save them for up to 2 months.

Reheating

Stovetop: Take a skillet, add the steak and sauce, then heat over low heat. You can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of broth if the sauce has thickened, then cover it and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until heated through.
Oven: First, preheat the oven to 300°F, then place the steak and the oven-safe dish with the sauce. Cover it with foil and heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until heated through.

FAQs About Juicy Bourbon Steak

How do I fix thin consistency?

The best way to fix it is to simmer it for a longer time. You can also add a cornstarch slurry to it and let it cook for a while to thicken the sauce.

Why is my steak tough?

You can keep your steak juicy by not cooking it for too long and using a meat thermometer to check if it has been cooked properly. Before cutting it for serving, let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes and then serve.
