Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Combine cocoa powder, both paprika powders, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and 2 tablespoons salt; rub the mixture into the steak and bring to room temperature, 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the gravy:

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring, until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels and set aside. Add the leeks to the remaining fat in the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

  3. Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the whiskey, then return to medium heat; if the alcohol ignites, suppress the flame with a lid. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the sauce has reduced by a quarter, about 8 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats a spoon, about 7 minutes. Add the butter, bacon, and parsley, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the gravy warm.
  4. Prepare the steaks:

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of butter; when it's melted, add the steak and cook until golden brown, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Season with salt. Slice the steaks and serve with the gravy.
