ingredients
– 8oz steak
– couple of mushrooms
– sprinkling of rock salt and black pepper
– shot of whiskey or brandy
– medium onion
– sprig of parsley or watercress
– tomatoes
– cream
– wine
preparation
Slice the steak and mushrooms and add to a hot pan to which you have added a drop of olive oil. Sprinkle on rock salt and black pepper for seasoning.
Cook until steak is medium rare or to taste.
Flame with a shot of whiskey or brandy. This helps to seal in the flavour.
Mix wine and about a quarter of a small pot of double cream. Add to the hot pan.
Cook until cream has started to thicken.
Serve with a sprig of parsley or watercress, tomatoes and colcannon potatoes.
