How to Store Whiskey Cream Gaelic Steaks

If you happen to have leftovers (which is unlikely, but who are we kidding?), these steaks keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. Just pop them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, heat gently in a skillet to preserve that creamy goodness.
