Steaks with Bourbon Mushroom Sauce

Usually my family is steak purists.  A good cut of beef, salt, pepper, and the grill.

But sometimes that steak deserves an amazing sauce to go with it.  This is one of those days.

These steaks are topped with an amazing mixture of caramelized onions, mushrooms, cream, and a splash of bourbon, just because.

It’s perfect for those days when you just feel like kicking the meal up a notch!
