# Detailed Preparation Steps:

01 - Take steaks off the pan and cover loosely with foil on a plate while they rest.
02 - Warm up olive oil in a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Cook steaks for 3 or 4 minutes on each side until you get a nice brown crust.
03 - Dry steaks with paper towels then sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
04 - Add Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until it melts and gets smooth.
05 - Put in heavy cream, then whisk in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer gently for 4 to 5 minutes until it thickens.
06 - Put steaks back in the pan. Pour sauce over them and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to warm through. Top with fresh parsley and serve right away.
07 - Throw in butter, smashed garlic, and herbs to the skillet. Keep spooning the melted butter over the steaks for about a minute.
08 - Turn heat down to medium and add butter plus minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds till you smell it.
09 - Pour bourbon in the pan, scrape up the brown bits stuck to the bottom, and let it simmer for a minute or two to thicken a bit.
