Gaelic Irish Steaks With Whiskey Cream And Colcannon
When people think of Irish meats, the first thing that comes to mind is a boiled-to-death hunk of corned beef. And while corned beef used to be a cheap cut of beef, a cut of corned beef can be as expensive as normal cuts of meat. So this time around, we skipped the corned beef and opted for this recipe of Gaelic Irish Steaks with Whiskey Cream and Colcannon. Sirloin steaks are marinated in whiskey before they get a hard sear in a cast iron skillet. A rich whiskey cream sauce gets made in the same skillet, building layers upon layers of flavor. If the steaks weren’t satisfying enough, a hearty side of colcannon is mashed with kale and green onions, countering the rich butter and cream. This meal might be made after St. Patrick’s Day, it’s that good! Get the detailed instructions by clicking the link!
