Irish Whiskey Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill on medium-high heat. Whisk together the whiskey, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper until the sugar and salt are dissolved. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil and the garlic. Add the steaks, turn a few times to coat with the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, quarter each potato lengthwise to form wedges and put in a medium pot. Cover with cold water to cover by 1-inch and add salt until the water tastes like sea water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender (but not falling apart), about 15 minutes. Drain well. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Pour the marinade into a small pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced, making sure the sugar does not burn, to make a glaze and sauce for the steak.
• Grill the steaks until an internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer reads about 130 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side, brushing with the boiled marinade several times in the last few minutes of grilling time. (If you are cooking the filet mignon steaks, you will need to increase this time to 8 to 10 minutes per side to account for the thicker cut). Transfer to a large plate to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. While the steaks grill, add the potatoes to the grill and grill until well-marked and crispy, turning to grill all sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer the potato wedges to a bowl.
• Toss the grilled potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, chives, vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Remove the garlic cloves from the remaining glaze and serve drizzled over the steaks with the potatoes on the side.

Steps:

• Trim away any excess fat from the steak or steaks.
• Press the crushed peppercorns and garlic onto both sides of the steak and let it stand at room temperature 1 hour.
• Heat a heavy iron skillet over high heat.
• Grease the skillet with a piece of the fat trimmed from the steak.
• Toss in about half the salt.
• Sear the steaks quickly on one side, then lift out; add the remaining salt to the skillet, turn the steak and sear the other side.
• Reduce the heat to moderate and cook the steaks as desired.
• Remove to a warmed platter.
• Make the sauce.
• Pour off fat from the skillet.
• Melt the butter in the skillet over low heat.
• Add the onion and garlic and cook slowly until soft, stirring often.
• Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Pour over the steak or steaks and serve.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the first 5 ingredients; add the beef and turn to coat. Cover; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight., Drain and discard marinade. Place beef on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 1e5°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°).

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat until butter has melted. Cook and stir onions in butter and oil until lightly golden brown, about 10 minutes. Push onions aside with a spatula.
• Rub steaks with cut sides of garlic clove.
• Place steaks in the skillet, leaving the onions to the side, and cook over medium-high heat until meat is browned but still lightly pink inside, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the skillet from heat. Slowly pour Irish whiskey into the hot skillet (be careful, whiskey fumes are flammable). Mix browned onions into whiskey and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.
• Sprinkle steaks with salt, black pepper, and parsley; turn steaks over in whiskey pan sauce to coat both sides, and serve drizzled with sauce.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, heat butter and oil.
• Add the steaks and cook 2 - 3 minutes on each side (for rare). Transfer to a warm plate and cover.
• Add garlic, shallot and mushrooms to the pan and cook 2 - 3 minutes until soft, but not browned.
• Stir in the honey and mustard and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the whiskey and stock or broth and cook for 3 - 4 minutes or until reduced in half.
• Whisk in cream and cook 2 - 3 minutes more or until thickened.
• Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Season the steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic and all but 2 teaspoons of the mustard. Place the steaks on a plate, and spread half of the garlic mustard mixture over one side of them. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry bacon until crisp, then remove from the pan, leaving the grease. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
• Heat the bacon grease in the skillet over medium-high heat, and add olive oil if necessary to cover the bottom of the pan. Fry steaks mustard side down for about 5 minutes, until golden brown. While the steaks are frying, spread the remaining garlic and mustard over the top. Flip the steaks over, and fry for about 2 minutes, until browned. Remove steaks to a serving platter, and keep warm.
• Keep the skillet over medium-high heat, and stir in the rosemary, whiskey, reserved mustard, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for about 2 minutes. Top steaks with crumbled bacon and the sauce, and serve.
