Boozy brown sugar bourbon steak bites are the dinner you didn’t know you were missing. In this fast and fancy recipe, cubes of marbled New York strip steak are seared in a hot skillet, then finished with sweet brown sugar and a drizzle of bourbon. Most of the alcohol will bubble away, leaving the steak to soak up the sweet oak and molasses flavors. For a finishing touch, sprinkle on chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Glazing Is the Easiest Way to Sauce a Steak
The secret to incredible restaurant-style steak? The sauce! But instead of doing the extra work of simmering a pan sauce after searing the steak, let the meat soak up the sweet and smoky flavors. Here, we’re using a splash of bourbon mixed with brown sugar to loosen the flavorful brown bits from the pan and infuse and glaze the steak bites with the woodsy and caramel flavors.
