Ingredients

• 2 pieces Beef steaks (e.g., sirloin or ribeye)
• 200 grams Haggis
• 150 milliliters Heavy cream
• 50 milliliters Scottish whisky
• 50 milliliters Beef stock
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to come to room temperature. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and half the butter to the pan.

Step 3

Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the pan and set aside to rest under foil.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining butter and cook the haggis until heated through, breaking it up with a wooden spoon if needed. Divide the haggis and set aside as a topping for the steaks.

Step 5

Deglaze the pan by adding the whisky. Let it simmer for about 1-2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Add the beef stock to the pan and simmer for another 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and lower the heat. Let the sauce cook gently for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.

Step 9

To assemble the dish, place the steaks on individual plates, top each with a generous portion of haggis, and drizzle the whisky cream sauce over everything.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with mashed potatoes or vegetables for a complete meal.
