Steaks With Whiskey Cream Sauce

Sara 76's Note:

This is the ultimate decadent, impressive, delicious main dish. This came from a set a recipe cards my sister received as a gift many years ago. It's one of my favourite meals to make, share, and enjoy. :)

This is the most delicious steak recipe I have ever tasted. It is mine and my husband's special date night meal, especially with mashed new potatoes.
