Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds ribeye steaks
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup Irish whiskey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Method
 

  1. Season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.

  5. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add heavy cream, whiskey, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  6. Stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
  9. For the colcannon, boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
  10. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the chopped cabbage.
  11. Drain the potatoes and cabbage, then return to the pot.
  12. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper.
  13. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  14. Stir in chopped green onions.
  15. To serve, place a generous scoop of colcannon on each plate, top with a steak, and drizzle with whiskey cream sauce.
