Instructions: Preparation of the Steak: Heat a skillet to medium-high heat. Rub steak with olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Blackened Spice (available in gourmet stores). Sear steak for 2 minutes on each side. Finish in oven to your degree of doneness.

Preparation of the Gorgonzola Sauce: Reduce Jack Daniels and water by half. Add cream and keep reducing it until it coats the back of a spoon. Next add the gorgonzola cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Preparation for the Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes: Boil potatoes in water until fork tender. Drain Well. In a metal bowl hand mash the potatoes with the sour cream, cold butter, cheese, and cream. Season with salt and pepper.

A Rosemary Crusted Chicken can be used with the Jack Daniels Gorgonzola Sauce instead of the Blackened New York Strip Steak.
