Instructions:
-
Prepare Potatoes:
- Begin by boiling the new potatoes until they are tender, ensuring to keep the skins on for added texture and flavor. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and set them aside.
-
Make Bleu Cheese Mash:
- In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes together with the crumbled blue cheese until creamy and well combined. Set the mashed potatoes aside and keep them warm until ready to serve.
-
Prepare Sirloin Steak:
- Cut the sirloin steak into four equal parts and lightly dust each piece with flour, ensuring an even coating.
-
Cook Steak and Aromatics:
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the dusted steak pieces along with sliced onions and minced garlic. Cook the steak for approximately two minutes on each side, or until desired doneness is achieved.
-
Create Sauce:
- Once the steak is cooked to your preference, remove it from the skillet and set it aside. In the same skillet, add green peppercorns, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and ale. Stir the ingredients together, allowing them to come to a slow boil.
-
Reduce Sauce:
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently until it reduces to about two-thirds of its original volume, intensifying the flavors and creating a rich and velvety texture.
-
Serve:
- To assemble the dish, spoon the creamy bleu cheese mashed potatoes onto serving plates. Top each portion with a cooked steak piece, then generously spoon the flavorful ale-infused sauce over the steak, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
-
Garnish:
- Finish the dish by garnishing each serving with freshly chopped parsley, adding a pop of color and a burst of freshness to the dish.
