Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Heat vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
Add bacon pieces and cook until crispy.
Remove bacon from skillet and place on paper towel lined plate; set aside.
Drain bacon fat from skillet reserving 2 tablespoons.
Coat both sides of steaks with salt and pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat from the skillet and heat skillet to high.
When skillet is very hot, add steaks and sear for 3 minutes on each side.
Remove skillet from stove and place in oven for 6 minutes or until steak reaches desired doneness.
Meanwhile, heat bourbon in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until warm.
Remove from heat; carefully ignite and let burn 30 seconds, then cover to extinguish flame.
Remove steaks from the oven, transfer to plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat to skillet and add shallots; saute for 3 minutes until translucent.
Add garlic to pan and stir for 30 seconds.
Add bourbon and stock; simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted.
Add steaks back into pan; coating both sides with bourbon glaze.
Transfer to plates and top with crispy bacon.
