Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces beef fillet steaks
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
- 60 milliliters Irish whiskey (e.g., Jameson)
- 120 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season both sides of the beef fillet steaks with salt and pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, add the steaks to the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the timing to your desired doneness.
Remove the steaks from the pan and set them aside to rest on a plate, loosely covered with aluminum foil.
Lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
Add the chopped shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Carefully pour in the Irish whiskey. Let it heat for a few seconds, then ignite it with a long match or lighter to flambé. Allow the flames to burn off naturally while gently swirling the pan.
Once the flames subside, stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the steaks to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Transfer the steaks to serving plates, pour the sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Gaelic Steak Flambé.
