Instructions
1
Preheat your grill or barbecue to a high heat.
2
In a saucepan or deep skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped white onions until they turn golden brown, about 3 minutes.
3
Add 1 cup of beef stock along with the cracked black pepper and pressed garlic to the onions, and let it simmer over medium-high heat until the sauce reduces by about half.
4
Stir in the whiskey and the remaining 1 cup of beef stock, then lower the heat and allow the sauce to simmer while you prepare the steaks.
5
Pat the sirloin steaks dry and season both sides with 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper each, gently pressing the pepper into the steak's surface.
6
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steaks and sear for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust.
7
Transfer the seared steaks to the preheated grill and cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired doneness. Lightly salt the steaks while grilling.
8
As the steaks near completion, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Remove the whiskey sauce from the heat, mix in the cornstarch mixture, and return to low heat, stirring until thickened to your desired consistency.
9
To serve, place the grilled steaks on plates and generously drizzle with the homemade whiskey pepper sauce.
