Description
This rich and creamy Blue Cheese Sauce is the perfect accompaniment to steaks, burgers, or roasted vegetables. Made with quality Stilton cheese (or Gorgonzola for a milder flavor), this sauce comes together in just 15 minutes and adds a gourmet touch to any meal. The combination of shallots, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce creates a depth of flavor that will impress your dinner guests.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 banana shallot, peeled and finely chopped (or use ½ small onion)
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 150 ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp) double (heavy) cream
- 125 g (4½ oz) Stilton, crumbled or roughly chopped (use Gorgonzola for a milder cheese)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the blue cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and black pepper, stirring to combine.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. If too thick, add a splash of milk or cream.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over your favorite dishes.
Notes
Tips: For extra smoothness, blend the sauce with an immersion blender. Substitutions: Use any blue cheese variety based on your preference – milder Gorgonzola or sharper Roquefort. Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of cream to restore consistency.
