Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup whiskey
- 0.5 cup beef broth
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preheating your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Rub the flank steak with olive oil on both sides, then season it with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure the steak is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (cook longer if you prefer a higher doneness). Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the steak is resting, make the whiskey sauce. In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallot to the skillet and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully add the whiskey to the skillet and let it cook for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly. Be cautious of any potential flame when adding the alcohol.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let the sauce reduce by about half, which should take 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
Slice the rested flank steak against the grain into thin strips. Arrange the slices on a serving platter or individual plates.
Drizzle the whiskey sauce generously over the steak slices and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
