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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
