Scale
Ingredients
- 4 beef sirloin or ribeye steaks (6–8 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Irish whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Instructions
- Season steaks: Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear steaks: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steaks 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to desired doneness. Remove and let rest.
- Prepare sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the pan and sauté 1 minute. Carefully pour in whiskey and simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add cream: Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens.
- Serve: Return steaks to the pan briefly to coat with sauce, or spoon sauce over plated steaks. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Allow steaks to rest at least 5 minutes before serving. Use caution when adding whiskey to a hot pan. For a thicker sauce, simmer slightly longer. Pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
