Bushmills Steak Flambe Recipes

LOBSTER FLAMBE

Steps:

• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the olive oil. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Add the cooked lobster meat and saute quickly, just to heat up the meat.
• Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the vodka. Return the pan to the heat, ignite the alcohol, and cook until the alcohol burns off and the flames die out. Keep the pan moving throughout this process so nothing burns. Season with salt and serve.

BANANAS FLAMBE

Steps:

• Remove 4 strips orange zest with a vegetable peeler. Squeeze the orange and strain the juice.
• Melt the butter with the sugar, orange zest and vanilla bean in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the liqueur, orange juice and a pinch of salt.
• Return the skillet to medium heat, add the bananas, cut-side down, and cook until glazed and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and divide among bowls.
• Add the rum to the pan and return to medium heat. Warm for a few seconds without stirring, then carefully tilt the pan so the rum ignites (if using an electric stove, hold a lit match near the sauce to ignite it). Spoon the flaming sauce over the bananas. Garnish with whipped cream and the glazed orange zest.

PINEAPPLE RUM FLAMBE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the butter and brown sugar over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Place the pineapple in the syrup in a single layer, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until browned on the first side. Turn with a small spatula or tongs and cook on the second side until the pineapples are soft and richly browned. Add rum and flambe. Arrange on dessert plates.

STEAK FLAMBE MOUTARDE

Steps:

• Pound pieces of steak between pieces of waxed paper to 1/2" thickness. In a large skillet, heat butter & saute sirloins for 2 minutes. Turn & season with salt & pepper. Cook to desired degree of doneness (2 minutes each side for rare). Pour brandy over steaks; stand back & using a fireplace match (or something with a long handle) ignite. When the flames die, transfer steaks to warm serving platter.
• Add whipping cream, mustard, sour cream & Worcestershire sauce to juices in pan. Cook & stir until heated through. Pour sauce over steaks & serve.

GAELIC STEAK FLAMBE

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have filets at room temperature. Sprinkle with black pepper.
• 2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof skillet. Saute shallots for a minute or two, then add the mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are slightly brown and the shallots are soft. Remove and set aside.
• 3. Turn the heat up in the pan. Saute the steaks quickly on both sides (this should take between 2-5 minutes each side).
• The steaks should be nicely seared.
• Put them in the oven for 5-10 minutes to finish, depending upon the thickness of the steaks. Take them out when the internal temp reaches how well done you like your steaks.
• Remove the steaks from the oven and put on a plate.
• 4. Melt the other tablespoon of butter in another pan over low heat. Add the steaks. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
• Pour the whiskey over the steaks and ignite!
• When the flames die down, turn the steaks over for about 30 seconds. Remove and tent the steaks on a warm plate.
• 5. Add the shallots and mushrooms back to the pan with the whiskey and slowly add half and half. Turn up the temperature a bit.
• Add Worcestershire sauce and salt to taste. Stir and cook a few minutes to thicken sauce and pour over steaks.
