Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs (680g) steak (ribeye or New York strip)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup whiskey
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

1. Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
2. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
3. Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the raisins to the skillet and stir well to combine with the garlic.
5. Pour in the whiskey and carefully ignite it with a long match or lighter. Let the flames burn off and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
6. Stir in the beef broth and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
7. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Meanwhile, whisk in the butter to the skillet sauce until fully melted and incorporated.
9. Slice the steak against the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices.
10. Serve the sliced steak on a platter and drizzle the raisin whiskey sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
