Description

This pan-fried steak topped with crumbled bacon and a delicious whiskey, mustard, and rosemary sauce is a rich and flavorful dish.

Ingredients

2 pounds beef round steak, 1 inch thick
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/3 cup sweet-hot mustard, divided
4 slices bacon
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2/3 cup bourbon whiskey
3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1 Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and place onto a plate.
2 Mix garlic and all but 2 teaspoons mustard together in a small bowl. Spread 1/2 of the mustard mixture over one side of steaks and let stand for 30 minutes.
3 Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble when cool enough to handle. Leave grease in the skillet.
4 Heat grease over medium-high heat, adding olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan if necessary. Fry steaks, mustard-side down, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Spread remaining mustard mixture over steaks, flip, and fry until browned on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer steaks to a serving platter and keep warm.
5 Stir whiskey, rosemary, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, and reserved 2 teaspoons mustard into the skillet and simmer over medium-high heat for 2 minutes.
6 Serve steaks with crumbled bacon and sauce over top.
