Our Rib-Eye Steak

My mom and I made this recipe on Wednesday night for Knox’s birthday since the boy is a big fan of meat.  We chose the thinner cuts of rib-eye steak at the store and opted for the boneless.  Sean grilled the steak on the BBQ and it was seasoned with just salt and pepper.  While he was grilling I made the cream sauce.  I read online that you could substitute vanilla for whisky so we decided to give that a try.  I used a little less than 1/4 cup of it but probably could have put in less.  I really think you could probably use any cooking liquid and would maybe have just added more beef stock and let it cook down.  The sauce was good on top of the steak, although the steak was delicious on its own too! We all liked this dish and it was fun to cook up!

The meal looks great! We are going to cook this recipe next week, so I'm glad to read your review. I was wondering about what to do instead of the whiskey, so thanks for the tip about using vanilla or broth :)

First time visiting, I like your idea of going through one book. This recipe looks very yummy.
