Instructions:

Preparation: Begin by pan-frying the steaks to your desired level of doneness. Once cooked, set them aside, keeping them warm.
Whisky Infusion: In the same pan, pour in the whisky, taking care as you ignite it to infuse the sauce with its distinctive flavor. Be cautious when setting it alight.
Creamy Delight: After the flames subside, add the heavy whipping cream, beef stock, and sliced mushrooms to the pan, stirring them together. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil.
Simmer and Reduce: Reduce the heat to a simmer, allowing the sauce to gently bubble away. Stir occasionally as it reduces to about half its original volume, intensifying in flavor and thickness.
Serve: Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, spoon it generously over the warm steaks, ensuring each one is coated in the luscious whisky-infused cream sauce.
Garnish and Enjoy: For an extra touch of elegance, you can sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top before serving. Pair this exquisite dish with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables, for a truly memorable meal.
