Description
A comforting Irish dish featuring tender sirloin steak in a smoky whiskey cream sauce served over hearty colcannon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Sirloin Steak
- 1/2 cup Irish Whiskey (e.g., Jameson)
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Shallots
- 1 cup Cream
- 2 cups Potatoes
- 1 cup Kale
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine melted butter and Irish whiskey. Immerse the sirloin steak in this mixture, letting it marinate for at least three hours.
- Sear the steak: Preheat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak for about 3-4 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms.
- Bake the steak: Transfer the seared steaks to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until you reach your desired doneness.
- Prepare the colcannon: Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and mash them together with cooked kale, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the whiskey cream sauce: In the same pan used for the steak, sauté shallots until they become translucent. Deglaze the pan with whiskey, then stir in the heavy cream and simmer until it thickens.
- Serve your dish: Plate the steak on a generous bed of colcannon and drizzle with the whiskey cream sauce. Enjoy immediately!
Notes
Rest the steak for about 5 minutes before slicing to ensure juicy and flavorful bites. Consider garnishing with chopped chives or sea salt.
