Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 12 oz / 340 g each), well-marbled
  • 1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and whole
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • Salt and white pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and quartered Yukon Gold potatoes and whole garlic cloves in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  2. While potatoes cook, pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix bourbon, brown sugar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.
  4. Heat cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until smoking hot (about 3-4 minutes). Add 1 tbsp butter and swirl to coat. Place steaks in pan and sear without moving for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time for desired doneness.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Pour bourbon glaze over steaks and spoon sauce repeatedly as it thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Remove steaks and let rest on a plate tented loosely with foil for 5-10 minutes.
  6. Drain potatoes and garlic, return to pot or warm bowl. Add warm milk and butter. Mash with potato masher or hand mixer until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Fold in chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  7. Slice rested ribeye steaks against the grain. Serve alongside a generous scoop of creamy garlic mashed potatoes. Drizzle any remaining bourbon glaze over the steak.

Notes

Rest the steak for 5-10 minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute. If the glaze thickens too much or starts to burn, lower the heat and add a splash of water or extra bourbon to loosen it. Use a dry steak for a perfect sear and avoid overcrowding the pan. Warm milk and butter before adding to potatoes for creamy texture. Avoid overmixing mashed potatoes to prevent gluey texture.
