Ingredients:

- 1/4 cup bourbon

- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 1 teaspoon dried cracked black pepper

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Direction:

1. In a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat.

 

2. Add dried cracked black pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and dried oregano to the pan. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

 

3. Slowly pour in the bourbon, stirring constantly. Be careful as the bourbon may cause the pan to sizzle.

 

4. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for 5-7 minutes, until the alcohol has cooked off and the sauce has reduced slightly.

 

5. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a spicier sauce, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

 

6. Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

 

7. You can use this bourbon pepper pan sauce as a glaze for grilled chicken, pork, or steak. Simply brush the sauce onto the meat during the last few minutes of cooking.

 

8. You can also use this sauce as a dipping sauce for bread or as a topping for roasted vegetables.

 

9. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat before using.
