Servings and Ingredients

Ingredients
Serves 2
QuantityIngredientAdd
2 (6-oz. each) beef sirloin steaks, about 1-inch-thick
½ tsp. Hy-Vee salt, divided
¼ tsp. Hy-Vee ground black pepper
1 tbsp. Hy-Vee unsalted butter
1 tbsp. Gustare Vita olive oil
½ (8-oz.) pkg. sliced mushrooms
½ small yellow onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. Finagren's Irish whiskey
3 tbsp. Hy-Vee heavy whipping cream
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Things To Grab

  • 10-inch cast iron skillet
  • Aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Pat steaks dry; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and black pepper.

  2. Heat oil and butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks on both sides for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through. Remove seared steaks from cast iron; cover, and keep warm.

  3. Add mushrooms and onions to cast iron skillet; season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Saute until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove cast iron from heat; add whiskey and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Return to heat and continue to cook for 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

  4. Add steaks back to skillet; continue cooking until steaks reach desired doneness. Allow to rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
