For best results, use a high-quality bourbon. The better the bourbon, the richer the sauce. Adjust the cooking time of the steaks to achieve your preferred level of doneness. A meat thermometer is recommended. Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a hint of spice. Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepSeason steaks generously on both sides with salt and pepper. Place onto a plate and set aside.
02
StepIn a small bowl, combine the crushed garlic with all but 2 teaspoons of the sweet-hot mustard. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepSpread half of the mustard mixture evenly over one side of each steak. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes. (Marinating time: 30 minutes)
04
StepIn a large skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp and browned, approximately 7-9 minutes. (Cooking time: 7-9 minutes)
05
StepTransfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cool enough to handle, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
06
StepLeave the bacon grease in the skillet. Heat the grease over medium-high heat, adding olive oil if needed to coat the bottom of the pan.
07
StepCarefully place the steaks, mustard-side down, into the hot skillet. Fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. (Cooking time: 5 minutes)
08
StepSpread the remaining mustard mixture over the top of the steaks. Flip and fry until browned on the other side and cooked to your desired doneness, about 2 minutes for medium-rare. (Cooking time: 2 minutes)
09
StepTransfer the steaks to a serving platter and keep warm.
10
StepPour the bourbon whiskey into the skillet, being careful as it may flame. Stir in the chopped fresh rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and the reserved 2 teaspoons of mustard. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
11
StepSimmer the sauce over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. (Cooking time: 2 minutes)
12
StepServe the steaks immediately, topped with the crumbled bacon and generously drizzled with the whiskey sauce.
