SCOTTISH STEAK BALMORAL AND LAPHROAIG WHISKEY SAUCE



Scottish Steak Balmoral and Laphroaig Whiskey Sauce image

A wonderful recipe for traditional Scottish Steak Balmoral, as served throughout the region and at the famous "The Witchery" restaurant located in Edinburgh, Scotland at the very top of the Royal Mile near the gates of beautiful Edinburgh Castle. The "Old Hell Fire Club" used to hold their meetings in this historic sixteenth century building. Tips: We prefer tender Aberdeen angus filet steaks in this first-rate recipe, but sirloin steaks or rib-eyes are just as good. Do try to use a very high quality beef, if possible. You can carefully flambe the whisky in step 2, but I usually don't bother as I find it boils down quickly enough into the divinely smooth and mellow sauce without the extra step. Recipe makes a generous serving of whisky sauce--by all means, you may adjust proportions to suit your own tastes. Serve these steaks with steamed new potatoes, fries, or baked (jacket) potatoes, and seasonal greens or a tossed salad. Try to use a good Scotch whisky (single or blended)....I used Laphroaig 15 yo single malt which is usually reserved for special occasions....but this was phenomenal! ENJOY!

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons butter
4 (8 ounce) aberdeen angus beef steak fillets (or sirloin steaks)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons good Scotch whisky (such as Laphroaig)
1 teaspoon scottish heather honey (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup beef stock
4 ounces cleaned sliced fresh mushrooms (button or wild)
4 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)
2 -3 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley, to garnish
fresh edible flower, to decorate (purple heather)

Steps:

  • Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and reduce the heat to medium. Pan fry the steaks 4 to 6 minutes per side, or to personal taste. Be careful not to overcook your steaks. Remove steaks to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and keep them warm.
  • Add the whisky, honey, cream, and beef stock to the pan, and bring to a boil. Now add the mushrooms and reduce heat to a steady simmer. Cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, stirring from time to time.
  • Stir in the chopped green onions and the mustard, cook briefly until onions are softened and sauce is heated through.
  • Serve the steaks with the whisky sauce poured over them; garnish with snipped fresh parsley, and decorate with purple heather, as desired. Lovely!

STEAK BALMORAL AND WHISKY SAUCE FROM THE WITCHERY BY THE CASTLE



Steak Balmoral and Whisky Sauce from the Witchery by the Castle image

This recipe hails from one of my favourite restaurants, "The Witchery - By The Castle" in Edinburgh, Scotland, which is towards the top up the hill near the gates of Edinburgh Castle. The restaurant is located in a very old and atmospheric building where the "Old Hell Fire Club" used to hold their meetings. The Witchery serves this delicious steak there, called Steak Balmoral, which has the most divine whisky sauce I have ever tasted! Serve this steak with chips (French fries), boiled, jacket or steamed new potatoes and seasonal greens or a tossed salad. The sauce is uniquely famous for its stunning simplicity - no need for onions or garlic, the cream, mustard, mushrooms and whisky tick all the taste boxes! More information from the restaurant's web-site: Located in an historic sixteenth-century building at the gates of Edinburgh Castle, James Thomson's Witchery is the most atmospheric and spectacular dining destination in the city. A unique location,stunning interiors and superlative food, wine and service create memorable and magical dining experiences for locals, visitors and celebrities alike. Ewan MacGregor, Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones, Jack Nicholson and Clarissa Dickson Wright have all succumbed to its charms, with Andrew Lloyd Webber calling it the prettiest restaurant ever! Originally built for an Edinburgh merchant in 1595, this historic building on the Royal Mile now includes the jewel-like Witchery diningroom, the spectacular Secret Garden and a collection of totally indulgent and opulent suites on the floors above and in an adjacent historic building. (This recipe is the authentic recipe from the restaurant's web-site.)

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (200 g) aberdeen angus steaks or 2 (200 g) sirloin steaks
25 g salted butter
5 green peppercorns, lightly crushed
60 ml Scotch whisky (a good blend such as Bells, Teachers or Famous Grouse)
1 teaspoon scottish heather honey (optional)
125 ml double cream
125 ml beef stock
50 g cleaned sliced fresh wild field mushrooms or 50 g button mushrooms
2 teaspoons coarse grain mustard
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat, then add the butter and green peppercorns and cook until the peppercorns release their aroma, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the steaks to the pan and cook to taste, then remove them and keep them warm.
  • Add the whisky to the buttery steak juices in the pan and carefully set it alight, flambe it until the flames die down; then add the honey (if using), cream, stock and mushrooms and bring to a boil, reducing the heat to a gentle simmer.
  • Simmer gently until the sauce has reduced by half, stirring from time to time to ensure that the mushrooms do not stick. Add the mustard, stirring well and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve the steaks with the sauce poured over the top and a selection of seasonal greens or a salad with chips (French fries) or a baked jacket potato.
  • NB: The honey is optional, it adds a mellow flavour to the sauce if you feel the whisky makes the sauce a little too bitter - it does not add a vast amount of sweetness, so you can add it as an option.
