Description

These tender Irish sirloin steaks are served with a tasty whiskey pan sauce, which you can light on fire at the table to wow everyone in attendance!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 (4 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks
1 clove garlic, cut in half lengthwise
1/4 cup Irish whiskey (such as Jameson®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

1 Heat butter and oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat until butter has melted. Add onion and sauté until light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Push onion to the sides of the pan.
2 Rub steaks with cut sides of garlic, then place into the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook until steaks are browned but still light pink inside, 2 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium doneness.
3 Remove from the heat. Slowly pour Irish whiskey into the hot skillet; be careful, whiskey fumes are flammable. Mix browned onions into the whiskey and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
4 Sprinkle steaks with salt and pepper, then garnish with parsley. Turn steaks over to coat both sides with the pan sauce.
5 Serve steaks and drizzle pan sauce over top.
