WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Cook the onions in the 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes. When the onions are brown, turn off the burner temporarily so you won't ignite your kitchen. Or yourself.
• Pour in the whiskey. As soon as it evaporates, turn the burner on medium-high heat and pour in the beef stock. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, then allow the mixture to bubble up and reduce by half.
• Whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter, then reduce the heat to low. Whisk in 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup cream, according to your taste. Allow the sauce to simmer and thicken for a few minutes.
• Serve with beef, baby!

STEAKS WITH WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Press steaks into a neat shape; cut bread into rounds about the same size as the steaks.

• Heat remaining butter in pan, add steaks, cook until done as desired; remove from pan, keep warm.
• Drain off pan dripings, leaving 1 Tbsp in pan. Add flour and shallot, stir over medium heat a few seconds. Stir in water, stir until sauce boils, add cream, parsley, buillon cube, whiskey and lemon juice. Reduce heat, simmer 2 minutes. Put steaks on bread, serve with sauce over.

FILET MIGNON WITH WHISKEY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring filets to room temperature.
• On a plate combine the pepper and rosemary.
• Salt both sides of filets, then press one side into pepper mixture to form a crust.
• In a very hot, heavy skillet add a little olive oil (this will keep the butter from burning) and butter (for flavor).
• Sear filets until desired doneness is reached. (About 6 minutes on each side for large filets to reach medium rare.).
• Remove to cutting board to rest for 5 to 10 minutes (this will allow time for the juices to redistribute and stay in the meat instead of on your plate).
• For the sauce, combine broth and pepper. Reduce to half.
• Add whiskey, cream and mustard; reduce to desired amount.
• Remove from heat and swirl in butter. Allow to cool slightly to thicken.
• Serve steaks whole or slice thinly and top with sauce.

WATERCRESS SOUP WITH WHISKEY CREAM

Steps:

• Bring the cream and 2 tablespoons whiskey to a simmer in a medium skillet over medium heat; cook until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon whiskey. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until cold.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups water, the potato, broth, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer and cook, partially covered, until the potato is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Add the watercress to the saucepan and simmer until just tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the soup to a blender in batches and puree until smooth. Return to the saucepan and bring to a bare simmer; season with salt and pepper.
• Whisk the chilled whiskey cream until soft peaks form. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each with a dollop of the whipped cream.

MARY BERRY'S SCOTS WHISKY CREAM

Steps:

• Cook time: 5 minutes plus cooling 1. Measure the whisky, sugar and marmalade into a small saucepan. Add the orange juice and half the pared rind. Stir over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the marmalade has melted (see tip). Bring to the boil, then allow to bubble for a minute. Remove from the heat and leave to cool in the pan for an hour. 2. Remove the orange rind from the syrup and discard. Pour the syrup into a large bowl. Add the cream and whisk, using an electric hand whisk, until soft peaks form. 3. Spoon into eight to ten clear shot glasses or cups, and top each portion with two or three raspberries and a few strips of the remaining pared orange rind. Keep chilled in the fridge until ready to serve. PREPARE AHEAD: Can be made up to 8 hours ahead and kept in the fridge. MARY'S EVERYDAY TIPS: The easiest way to pare the rind is with a vegetable peeler - taking off the skin but as little pith as possible. The white pith would make the flavour bitter. When heating the syrup, make sure the sugar has completely dissolved before letting the mixture boil, or the resulting syrup will be grainy. If it starts to bubble before the marmalade and sugar have dissolved, turn the heat down and proceed on a gentle heat until ready to boil.

CREAMY MUSHROOM WHISKEY STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Heat the butter in saute pan over medium heat. When the butter starts bubbling, add the onions and saute until the onions are soft, transluscent and just slightly golden. Take care not to burn the onions by keeping your heat on medium or even medium-low. This will take about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.
• 2. Turn your heat to medium-high and add the mushrooms all at once. Immediately start tossing so that the onion/garlic/butter mixture is evenly distributed amongst the mushrooms. Saute the mushrooms until they are browned and softened, about 3-5 minutes depending on the size of your mushrooms.
• 3. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Pour in the whisky and the balsamic vinegar and let the mixture bubble a bit to burn off some of the alcohol. Turn the heat down just a bit and add in the heavy cream. Let it bubble for another 30 seconds and then taste to adjust the salt. Stir in the freshly minced herbs and pour over just-grilled steak.
