BEER PAIRING
Pair with an Irish Red Ale, such as George Killian’s® Irish Red™
The deep malt flavor profile, hints of caramel, toasted bread and dried dark fruit of Killian’s Irish Red make it the perfect partner for this dish.
The caramel sweetness from this Irish Red Ale rounds out the earthy, spicy horseradish sauce while the toasty malt notes play off the seared, browned steak.
And the beer’s bitterness and carbonation? It helps to cut through the fats of the steak and the creaminess of the sour cream and mayo in the horseradish sauce—cleansing your palate for the next bite.
INGREDIENTS
Horseradish Sauce
1 cup sour cream
¼ cup horseradish, grated
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
Steak Bites
2.5 pounds (about 2 steaks) sirloin steak, trimmed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons butter
4 sprigs fresh thyme
3 cloves garlic, peeled
PREPARATION
STEP 1
In a bowl, combine ingredients for the horseradish sauce and stir until smooth.
STEP 2
Slice steaks into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper. Divide the steak cubes in half.
STEP 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once the oil begins to smoke, add one half of the steak cubes and sear for 1 minute until browned. Stir and sear for an additional minute until browned.
Remove steak bites to a serving dish and repeat with the remaining steak.
STEP 4
Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter, thyme, and garlic. Sauté, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until butter melts and garlic is golden.
STEP 5
Pour over the steak bites and serve with horseradish sauce.
