Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Gaelic Irish Steaks with Whiskey Cream
  1. In a mixing bowl, melt some butter and stir in a splash of Irish whiskey. Immerse sirloin steaks in this marinade, coating thoroughly, and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Sear for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned.
  3. Transfer the steaks to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C). Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until desired doneness is reached.
  4. While the steaks are baking, peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them until smooth, adding in pre-cooked kale and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Using the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add chopped shallots. Sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Deglaze the pan with whiskey and let reduce for 1-2 minutes. Pour in heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
  6. To serve, create a bed of colcannon on each plate, place a steak on top, and drizzle with whiskey cream sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
