Ingredients
Scale
For the Steaks:
- 4 beef sirloin steaks (about 6 oz each)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Irish whiskey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
For the Colcannon:
- 2 cups green cabbage (shredded)
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter (for colcannon)
- 1/4 cup chopped scallions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the steaks: Generously season the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Sear the steaks: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side or to your desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
- Make the sauce: Deglaze the skillet with Irish whiskey. Add cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened. Return steaks to warm through.
- Prepare the colcannon: Sauté scallions and cabbage in butter until softened. Fold in mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Plate the steaks with sauce and colcannon. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
- You can use shallots instead of scallions for a milder colcannon.
- To intensify the sauce flavor, reduce the whiskey by half before adding cream.
