Stilton (Blue Cheese) Steak Sauce
"This is a very strong Blue cheese sauce that goes very well on Aged Angus Rib Eye steaks that have been crusted with pepper before being grilled. It is not for the faint of heart, or people who like mild (subtle) flavors."
- Ready In:
- 7mins
- Ingredients:
- 4
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups Stilton cheese (Or Mountain Gorgonzola, needs to be a STRONG hard blue cheese)
- 1⁄4 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
- salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
directions
- Shave or crumble about 1- 1 1/2 CUPS of the Blue cheese into a small heavy sauce pan.
- Add about 1/4 cup Hellman's full fat mayonnaise. (This is the emumiant that keeps everything together).
- I add a LOT (a full teaspoon) of pepper, I grind it right into the pan. Fresh really makes a difference.
- Add salt to taste (I don't use any if I use the rind of the cheese as it is often hardened with salt).
- Warm the pan slowly while constantly stirring. It will melt, don't give up.
- If you heat it too fast, or don't still it will separate.
- The mayo will forgive some sins, but not many, so stir!
- This will make a THICK sauce.
- More mayo will thin it some.
- Milk can thin it if it is too strong.

Nice and creamy sauce. Without the addition of salt, mine was VERY salty. . .a little of this goes a long way. Had never tried this version with mayo; very fun. Used with some filet mignons.

I retired from the Telcom industry at it's peak, one of the lucky few. When I retired my wife and "re-negociated" who did what arround the house. The last two things were laundry & cooking. I choose cooking.
My wife thinks I am a much better cook than her, and I definately have a lot more fun that she did, even dealing with our picky kids.
