Step-by-step
- Season each steak with salt and pepper.
- Let the steaks sit and rest to reach room temperature (I let my steaks sit out for at least 15 to 20 minutes before I cook the steaks).
- While the steaks sit out to reach room temperature, heat about two tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan (use medium high heat).
- Once the olive oil has heated, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook the mushrooms for about five minutes.
- Once you cook the mushrooms, drain the mushrooms, and set the mushrooms aside.
- In a pan, heat the butter and about one tablespoon of olive oil in a pan on medium heat.
- Add the garlic and sage to the heated olive oil and butter. Cook the garlic and sage for about one minute.
- Add the heavy cream, mushrooms, and bourbon to the garlic sage mixture.
- Cook the cream sauce for about five minutes on medium heat or until the sauce reduces to half the amount.
- Add the ½ tablespoon of Bourbon and the 1 tablespoon of white wine to the sauce.
- Salt and pepper the cream sauce to taste. Set the sauce aside.
- Cook steaks to desired doneness.
- Let the steaks rest a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to stay in the meat so that steaks stay juicy.
- Top the steaks with the cream sauce before serving.
