Instructions
In a large zip top bag combine whiskey, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt and pepper.
Add steak tips and toss to coat well.
Seal the bag and marinate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat.
Remove steak from marinade and pat lightly dry.
Add a drizzle of oil to the skillet and sear steak tips for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet melt butter.
Add mushrooms and onions and cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle in paprika and smoked paprika.
Pour in heavy cream and beef broth.
Add Worcestershire sauce and stir well.
Simmer the sauce 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened and smooth.
Return steak tips to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce.
Simmer 2–3 minutes until the steak is heated through and the sauce coats the meat.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve hot.
This dish is incredible with:
• crusty bread
• mashed potatoes
• buttered egg noodles
• roasted potatoes
Notes
For the best flavor, use sirloin steak tips and sear them in a very hot skillet for a good crust.
Don’t overcrowd the pan or the steak will steam instead of brown.
