INGREDIENTS

  • Meat

    • 🥓 2 slices bacon
    • 2 filet mignon steaks, about 1 inch thick

  • Dairy

    • 🧈 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • Vegetables

    • 🍄 6 white mushrooms, thinly sliced
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, mashed to a paste
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves

  • Seasonings

    • 🧂 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • Liquids

    • ⅓ cup bourbon
    • 💧 ⅓ cup water

STEPS

1

Place bacon in an 8-inch cast iron skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Crumble bacon and reserve.

2

Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook garlic in the hot butter, stirring, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.

3

Add mushrooms, salt, and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring, until liquid from mushrooms starts to evaporate, 5 to 7 minutes.

4

Add bourbon and boil until nearly evaporated. Stir in water, lemon juice, and Worcestershire. Boil until sauce is thickened slightly. Transfer sauce to a small saucepan and stir in reserved bacon and parsley. Keep warm.

5

Pat steaks dry with paper towels and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

6

Heat remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foam begins to subside. Sear steaks for 4 minutes; turn over and sear, 3 to 3 ½ minutes for medium-rare. Divide between 2 plates and spoon sauce over them.
