Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 4 (4 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks
• 1 clove garlic, cut in half lengthwise
• ¼ cup Irish whiskey (such as Jameson®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Rub steaks with cut sides of garlic clove.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle steaks with salt, black pepper, and parsley; turn steaks over in whiskey pan sauce to coat both sides, and serve drizzled with sauce.
