Steak with Whiskey Cream Sauce

  • 1 (1 lb) beef tenderloin steak
  • Salt
  • 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  1. Bring steak to room temperature.
  2. Combine Pepper and Rosemary on a plate.
  3. Salt both sides of the steak, then press one side into pepper mixture to form a crust.
  4. In a very hot grill add a little olive oil to the rack to prevent burning
  5. Cook steak until desired doneness is reached. (About 6 minutes on each side for large filets to reach medium rare.).
  6. Remove to cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (this will allow time for the juices to redistribute and stay in the meat instead of on your plate).
  7. For the sauce, combine broth and pepper. Reduce to half.
  8. Add whiskey, cream and mustard; reduce to desired amount.
  9. Remove from heat and swirl in butter. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
  10. Serve steaks whole or slice thinly and top with sauce.
