Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper and place onto a plate.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 6

Serve steaks with crumbled bacon and sauce over top.
