If there is excess fat in the pan, spoon it off. Add 3 tablespoons of minced shallots to the pan. Stir for 1 minute. Add 2 oz. of whichever bourbon you’d like to try. (BE CAREFUL- This will flame up on a gas range. By all means, let it burn a moment for effect, but the raw alcohol will boil off with or without flame.) Add 3/4 cup canned or fresh beef broth. Stir and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring this to a boil. Taste the sauce and adjust as desired by adding more broth, salt or pepper. Serve over the steaks as is or stir in 3 tablespoons of heavy cream beforehand.
