Ingredients:
For the Steaks:
- 4 Brown Pearcy premium Angus steaks (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
For the Bourbon Glaze:
- 1 cup bourbon
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Optional Garnish:
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Thinly sliced green onions
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steaks:
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature.
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then rub with olive oil. Season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
2. Make the Bourbon Glaze:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the bourbon, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, chili flakes (if using), and minced garlic.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let it reduce by half, about 10-12 minutes, until thickened and syrupy.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the butter for a glossy finish. Set aside and keep warm.
3. Cook the Steaks:
- Preheat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- Grill or sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time to your desired doneness). Use a meat thermometer for precision: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
- Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5-7 minutes to retain their juices.
4. Glaze the Steaks:
- Brush the bourbon glaze generously over each steak during the last minute of cooking or immediately after removing from the grill/skillet.
- Serve the steaks with extra glaze drizzled over the top.
5. Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish the glazed steaks with chopped parsley or sliced green onions for a fresh pop of flavor and color.
- Pair with your favorite Southern-inspired sides, such as garlic mashed potatoes, skillet cornbread, or grilled vegetables.
Why It Works:
The Southern Bourbon Glaze adds a rich, smoky-sweet flavor that perfectly complements the juicy, tender Angus steaks. The high-quality meat from Brown Pearcy ensures every bite is packed with flavor and texture that shines through the bold glaze.
This dish isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience that showcases the premium quality of Brown Pearcy beef with a touch of Southern charm.
