*Traditional Scottish Recipes*
 *- Steak Balmoral*

The "Witchery" restaurant in Edinburgh is located in a building where the "Old Hell Fire Club" held their meetings. The restaurant serves Steak Balmoral, made with a whisky sauce. Here's the recipe.

## Ingredients

- 4 Aberdeen Angus steaks. If you are only cooking for two, halve the quantities below for the sauce.
- 4 tablespoons Scotch whisky
- Half pint double cream
- Quarter pint beef stock
- 4 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon coarse grain mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 oz butter

## Method

Pan fry the steaks and keep warm.
 Add the whisky to the pan and carefully set it alight. Add the cream, stock and mushrooms and bring to a boil. Simmer gently until the sauce has reduced by half, stirring from time to time.
