Here's a very simple recipe for a versatile sauce that can be used on steaks or as a dip for vegetables or crusty bread. It is also very good tossed with pasta as a side dish to serve with steak or roast beef. I actually toss this sauce with cooked penne and thinly sliced rare steak for one of my favorite pasta dishes. It's saturated fat heaven, I know, but it is so delicious.
I don't cook this for long because I like the blue cheese to stay a little chunky while still flavoring the sauce.
To a small saucepan add:
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp chopped shallots
Saute the shallots in the olive oil until softened and fully cooked. Add
1 oz white wine
simmer until the wine is half reduced in volume, then add
1/2 cup sour cream
pinch salt
1/4 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
Bring to a slow simmer before adding
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese, at room temperature.
Stir in the blue cheese, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes before giving it a final stir and serving.

This sounds fabulous! I'm thinking my next steak is calling for this sauce!
ReplyDeleteHey Barry! I LOVE your blog. I was doing some surfing around over the weekend and found this sauce. TOTALLY stole this from you, posted my version today (with plenty of linky love).
