GAELIC STEAK

Category: Steaks - Beef

2 tbsp unsalted butter and olive oil
4 beef filets, 5 to 6 oz each
1 clove garlic, minced
1 shallot, minced
4 oz white mushrooms, chopped
1 tsp honey
1/2 tsp whole-grain mustard
2 tbsp Irish whiskey
3/4 cup homemade beef stock or canned low-sodium beef broth
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the butter and oil. Add the steaks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side (for rare). Transfer the steaks to a warm plate and cover.

Add the garlic, shallot, and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until soft but no browned. Stir in the honey and mustard and cook for 1 minute. Add the whiskey and stock or broth, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until reduced by half.

Whisk in the cream and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until the sauce thickens. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
