Ingredients
- 8 medium potatoes
- 4 Tbsp beef dripping
- 1 leek, diced
- salt and pepper
- 4 x 180g gammon steaks
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ gravy
- ¼ cup Irish whiskey
- ¼ bunch parsley, chopped finely
Instructions
1 Boil the potatoes then cool under running water. Crush lightly then fry in dripping until crisp. Add the leeks and fry for 1 more minute, then drain and season with salt and pepper.
2 Brush the gammon with vegetable oil and grill on a hot BBQ griddle for 3 minutes each side until caramelised.
3 Bring the gravy and whiskey to a boil, season lightly, and fold in the parsley.
4 Serve the steaks on a bed of fried potatoes drizzled with whiskey sauce.
PROFESSIONAL Tip: Irish whiskey is mild and un-peated, as opposed to the stronger flavoured Scotch whisky.
