Simply Better Cold Pressed Irish Rapeseed Oil Sea Salt & Cracked Black Pepper Simply Better Potato Gratin, to serve Whiskey Sauce: 1 Tbsp. Simply Better Cold Pressed Irish Rapeseed Oil 1 Tub Simply Better Irish Made Beef Gravy 150ml Simply Better Single Source Irish Jersey Cream 120ml Irish Whiskey 25g Butter 150g Button Mushrooms, trimmed and sliced 1 Shallot, finely chopped 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce Pinch of sugar 1 Tbsp. Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley, chopped Squeeze of Lemon Juice Method: 1. To make the sauce, heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter and oil then swirl until the butter has melted and is foaming. Tip in the mushrooms and shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Pour over the whiskey, then tilt the pan to catch the flame. It will flare up for 5-10 seconds and then subside when the alcohol burns off. 2. Stir in the beef gravy with the cream and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and reduced to a sauce consistency that will coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the sugar, parsley and lemon juice and season to taste. Keep warm. 3. Drizzle a little oil over the steaks and season with sea salt and black pepper just before cooking. 4. Preheat a heavy-based pan over a high heat. Sear the steaks on both sides, reduce the heat to medium and cook for time indicated below depending on your preference: RARE: 2 - 4 minutes each side MEDIUM: 4 - 5 minutes each side WELL DONE: 5 - 6 minutes each side 5. Add a knob of butter to the pan close to the end of the cooking time and allow to foam a little. Use this to baste the steaks. 6. Transfer the steaks to a plate and leave to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with the potato gratin and whiskey sauce.
