Indulge in these bacon-wrapped steak bites with creamy whiskey sauce for a quick, flavorful dinner packed with indulgent richness.
Ingredients
- • sirloin steak: 1 pound, cut into 1-inch cubes
- • bacon: 8 strips, cut in half
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • salt: 1 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • heavy cream: 1 cup
- • whiskey: 1/4 cup
- • Dijon mustard: 1 tablespoon
- • butter: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • fresh parsley: for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- 1 Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- 2 Wrap each steak cube with half a strip of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
- 3 Add olive oil to the skillet and place the bacon-wrapped steak bites in the pan. Season with salt and black pepper.
- 4 Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bacon is crispy and the steak is cooked to your liking. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- 5 In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
- 6 Carefully pour in the whiskey, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
- 7 Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 3-4 minutes.
- 8 Return the bacon-wrapped steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy whiskey sauce to coat evenly.
- 9 Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these indulgent bites with a side of creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce, or offer a crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette for a refreshing contrast. For a truly decadent experience, pair this dish with a glass of full-bodied red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, to enhance the rich flavors of the steak and whiskey sauce.
Storage Tips
To store leftovers, place the steak bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of cream if the sauce has thickened too much.
