1 (8-to-12-ounce) sirloin steak, room temperature

1 tablespoon butter or lard

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 cup Irish Whiskey

1 cup heavy cream

Salt to taste

1. Season steak with pepper.

2. Add butter and oil to a hot pan.

3. When butter is foaming, add steak so the fat maintains the heat and seals the meat quickly.

4. Reduce heat and cook to taste (3 to 4 minutes rare, 4 to 5 minutes medium, 5 to 6 minutes well done), turning steak only once.

5. Remove steak to a warm plate.

6. Pour off fat from pan, discard.

7. Add whiskey and cream to pan, stir until thickened.

Season to taste and pour over steak.

Makes 1 serving.
