  1. 1

    Place sirloin steaks in a large Ziploc bag with the mixture of melted butter and Irish whiskey. Marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

  3. 3

    Fill a large pot with cold water and bring potatoes up to a boil. Season water with salt and cook until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife.

  4. 4

    In a sauté pan over medium-low heat, melt butter and add kale to the pan. Let cook for 3 - 4 minutes or until wilted, then add green onion to the kale. Remove from heat and let sit.

  5. 5

    Drain the potatoes. Return them to the cooking pot and add milk. Mash to personal preference, chunky or smooth.

  6. 6

    Add cooked kale to the mash and season mixture with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm.

  7. 7

    Remove marinated steak from the fridge and let it come to room temp for 30 minutes.

  8. 8

    Preheat a cast iron pan over high heat for 3 - 4 minutes then add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.

    Pat dry steak and sear steak for 2 - 2 ½ minutes on one side, then cook for 1 - 2 minutes on the other side. Reserve cast iron.

  10. 10

    Remove steak to a sheet tray and repeat with remaining steaks. Place in a preheated oven to finish cooking for 2 - 6 minutes.

  11. 11

    In the steak pan, heat to medium-low heat. Add butter to the steak pan and let it melt.

  12. 12

    Add shallot and garlic and let cook for 1 - 2 minutes, then add whiskey. Note: be careful of flambé, so turn off the heat, then reignite. Cook until mostly evaporated.

  13. 13

    Add cream, beef stock, and mustard and season with a little salt and cracked pepper. Reduce heat to low and let cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until sauce coats the back of a spoon. Enjoy!
