how to make Savor Gaelic Irish Steaks with Creamy Kale Colcannon Bliss

1. Prep the steak and potatoes. Season steak with salt and pepper. Peel and chop potatoes into even pieces. Wash and chop kale.
2. Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes).
3. While potatoes cook, heat a pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp butter. Sear the steak 2–4 minutes per side depending on thickness and desired doneness. Remove steak and let rest.
4. In the same pan, lower heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp butter and chopped shallots. Cook until soft (1–2 minutes). Pour in 1/2 cup Irish whiskey carefully and let it reduce by half.
5. Add 1 cup heavy cream to the pan. Stir and simmer until sauce thickens a bit. Taste and add salt and pepper.
6. Drain potatoes and mash with remaining butter and some cream for texture. Mix in chopped kale and cook until wilted, then fold into potatoes for colcannon.
7. Slice steak and serve with the whiskey cream sauce over or beside the steak and a generous scoop of kale colcannon.
