FAQs

Can I use a different type of alcohol?
Yes, you can substitute the bourbon with whiskey or even red wine for a different flavor profile.

Is it necessary to let the steak rest?
Yes, resting the steak allows the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and juicy.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
While the sauce is best fresh, you can prepare it ahead of time and reheat it when you are ready to serve. Just be sure to stir well and adjust the consistency if needed.
