Best Gaelic Steak Flambe Recipes

GAELIC STEAK FLAMBE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have filets at room temperature. Sprinkle with black pepper.
• 2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet. Saute shallots for a minute or two, then add the mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are slightly brown and the shallots are soft. Remove and set aside.
• 3. Turn the heat up in the pan. Saute the steaks quickly on both sides (this should take between 2-5 minutes each side).
• The steaks should be nicely seared.
• Put them in the oven for 5-10 minutes to finish, depending upon the thickness of the steaks. Take them out when the internal temp reaches how well done you like your steaks.
• Remove the steaks from the oven and put on a plate.
• 4. Melt the other tablespoon of butter in another pan over low heat. Add the steaks. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
• Pour the whiskey over the steaks and ignite!
• When the flames die down, turn the steaks over for about 30 seconds. Remove and tent the steaks on a warm plate.
• 5. Add the shallots and mushrooms back to the pan with the whiskey and slowly add half and half. Turn up the temperature a bit.
• Add Worcestershire sauce and salt to taste. Stir and cook a few minutes to thicken sauce and pour over steaks.

GAELIC STEAK FLAMBE FROM IRISH CHEF LESA SULLIVAN

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large frying pan. Add the onion and saute gently for about 5 minutes, until just beginning to color. Remove onion w/ slotted spoon.
• Rub the steaks well with pepper and put them in the pan. Fry quickly for about 2-7 minutes on each side (the time depends on whether you prefer steak rare, medium or well done).
• Add some salt. Pour the whiskey over and ignite it. When the flames die down turn the steaks over and continue to cook for about 30 seconds.
• Move the steaks to a warmed plate. Add the removed onion and cream into the pan & simmer the drippings in the pan until it reduces to a thicker cream sauce. Spoon sauce over the steaks and serve immediately.
