Ingredients

2 (16-ounce) Certified Angus Beef ® ribeye steaks

1/4 pound bacon, chopped

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon coarse cracked black pepper

1 large sweet onion (Vidalia or Spanish), halved and thinly sliced

1 jalapeno pepper (for less heat, substitute a poblano or a sweet bell pepper),stem and seeds removed, thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a large cast iron skillet, sear bacon over medium heat until crisp; use slotted spoon to remove from pan and set aside, leaving bacon fat in the pan.

2. Season ribeye steaks with salt and black pepper. Sear over medium-high heat 5 minutes per side to develop a rich mahogany-colored sear. Cook to medium rare, or your desired doneness. (Optional: After initial sear on each side, finish steaks in a 325° F oven.) Remove from skillet to a clean cutting board or plate to rest.

3. With heat on medium high, add onion and jalapeño to skillet. Sear a minute until charred. Turn off heat and add 1/4 cup whiskey. Stir in bacon. Serve immediately over steaks.
