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!

Bacon-Wrapped Filets with Scotched Mushrooms image

I got the idea for bacon-wrapped filet mignon when I saw some on sale in the grocery store. The rest was inspired by my husband, because he once made a Scotch and ginger ale sauce. This elegant recipe is for two, but it can easily be doubled. -Mary Kay LaBrie, Clermont, Florida

Tips for Making Scottish Beef in Whisky Sauce:

  • When choosing your beef, opt for a cut that is well-marbled, such as ribeye or strip steak. This will ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
  • Sear the beef over high heat to create a nice crust. This will help to lock in the flavor and prevent the meat from drying out.
  • Use a good quality whisky for the sauce. A smoky or peaty whisky will add a delicious depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Don't boil the sauce. Bring it to a simmer and then let it cook gently for 10-15 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
  • Serve the beef with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a green salad.

Conclusion:

This Scottish beef in whisky sauce is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is relatively easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook beef, give this recipe a try.
