This is the perfect rich, decadent meal for a special occasion, like St. Patrick's Day.

Ingredients -

1½ to 2 pounds boneless beef sirloin, sirloin tip, rib-eye, chuck, or top round steak, cut about 1 to 1¼-inch thick

Freshly ground black pepper to taste (medium to coarse grind)

1 to 2 tablespoons butter or margarine or extra virgin olive oil or other cooking oil (corn, canola or safflower oil)

Salt to taste

½ to ¾ cup Irish whiskey or bourbon

½ cup light cream or half-and-half

About ½ cup minced parsley (no stems), divided

Paprika as desired for garnish
 
Method:

Rub the steak, all over, with pepper as desired.

In a large heavy skillet, heat oil over moderate to high heat.

Add steak to skillet and panfry, about 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending upon desired doneness of steak.

Drain off fat from pan.

Evenly pour whiskey over beef; reduce heat and continue cooking for 1 minute.
 Add cream and half of the parsley to skillet, blending well.
 
To serve, cut the steak into individual serving pieces; arrange steak pieces on a warm platter or individual dinner plates.  Evenly pour whiskey gravy over steak pieces.  Garnish with remaining parsley and a sprinkle of paprika.

Change in the directions-- omit the whiskey on the steak,pour it in a glass and drink it after dinner. Whiskey gravy!!! What a waste of good liquor.

If, as the directions state one should pan fry it, why does the story have the steak over open flames on a gril?
