Directions:For the roasted parsnips and carrots:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. If the parsnips and carrots are very thick, cut them in half lengthwise. Slice each diagonally in 1 inch-thick slices. The vegetables will shrink while cooking, so don't make the pieces too small.
2. Place the cut vegetables on a sheet pan. Add the olive oil, salt, and pepper and toss well. Roast for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the vegetables, tossing occasionally, until the parsnips and carrots are just tender.
3. Sprinkle with parsley or dill and serve hot.
For the whiskey sirloin:
1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp of the butter with 1 tbsp of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl and set aside.
2. Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of the oil to the skillet and fry the steak over medium heat, turning once, until browned, about 4 minutes per side for medium. Transfer the steak to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
3. Add the whiskey or bourbon to the skillet and, over medium heat, scrape up any bits that cling to the pan. Allow the liquor to simmer until reduced by half, about 1 minute. Add the onions and the remaining 2 tbsp of butter and stir until the butter is melted. Reduce the heat and gently simmer until the onions are heated through, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and stir in any juices that have run off from the steak.
4. To serve, top each sirloin steak with the onions and serve with the roasted parsnips and carrots. Make some buttered garlic bread or our Cheddar Cheese Biscuits (recipe is with the Guinness Beef Stew). Makes 4 servings. |
