Description
Tender pan-seared Irish-style steaks served with a rich and velvety whiskey cream sauce made with garlic, butter, and herbs for a bold and comforting dish.
Ingredients
- 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (about 8 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Irish whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steaks and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Carefully pour in the whiskey and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Let the sauce simmer for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to warm through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a good-quality Irish whiskey for the best flavor.
- Let steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
- The sauce pairs well with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
- You can substitute sirloin with filet mignon or strip steak.
