INGREDIENTS:
4 x 1-1/2 cm thick gammon steaks 15 g butter 1 large onion, thinly sliced
15 g butter (extra) 2 green apples, peeled, cored and cut into 5 mm slices 1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons Irish whiskey 1 tablespoon plain flour 3/4 cup chicken stock
ground pepper 2 tablespoons cream



1 Trim gammon steaks and snip edges to prevent curling during cooking. Heat butter until foaming, then quickly cook steaks on both sides until brown, remove and keep warm. Add onions to pan, cook until golden, remove and keep warm.
2 Heat extra butter in pan, add apple slices and cook until tender, remove and keep warm. Sprinkle sugar over juices in pan and cook until sugar dissolves. Add whiskey and swirl it with pan juices.
3 Blend in flour, cook 1 minute, add chicken stock and stir until mixture is smooth. Cook until sauce boils and thickens, season with pepper. Add cream just prior to serving.
4 Arrange gammon steaks on a serving plate, pour sauce over the meat. Arrange fried onions and apple slices on top. Serve with mashed potatoes and cabbage.
5 Hint: Ham and bacon are widely used throughout Ireland. Only the leg cuts are called ham. All other cuts are called bacon. Gammon is a thick slice of ham steak.
