Introduction

Pan seared New York steak with whiskey and cream.

After a wonderful four days weekend, we are back settled in our routine and we looked forward to enjoying a homemade dinner. And of course, without thinking about it twice, steak was the request in our household.

I tried a simple yet succulent sauce with our steaks. Whiskey and cream sauce has been around for a very long time and originally was prepared table side throughout French restaurants. The buttery tender steaks  are the perfect combination with the zesty sauce.

We choose New York steaks, however fillets, or rib eye can be an excellent alternative. Cognac is a great substitute to the whiskey. As with any spirits been added to or near a hot pan and flame, caution as to easy pouring the whiskey into the skillet and keep your body at a distance.

Simple green salad to start the meal, and rosemary roasted potatoes to help  with the wonderful sauce and steak.
