Traditional Scottish Balmoral Steaks Recipe

prime Aberdeen Angus steaks are known throughout the world. This steak recipe uses this meat along with other rich and tasty Scottish ingredients. Named after the famous area of Scotland frequented by the Queen, it is indeed a meal fit for royalty. The recipe should serve four. If cookign for two simply halve the ingredients.

Balmoral Steaks

Ingredients:

  • 4 Aberdeen Angus steaks.
  • 4 tablespoons Scotch whisky
  • Half pint double cream
  • Quarter pint beef stock
  • 4 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon coarse grain mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 oz butter

Method: A simple dish, you shoudl start by pan frying the steaks, remove and keep warm. Add the whisky to the pan and CAREFULLY set it alight (bear in mind you may also have some fat in the pan which may "spit"). Once the whisky has reduced, add the cream, stock and mushrooms and bring to a boil. Place the steaks back in the pan and simmer gently until the sauce has reduced by half, stirring from time to time.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
