Why This Recipe Works:
- Saucy Perfection: Elevate your steak game with a sauce that’s more than just an afterthought. It’s a game-changer.
- Easy to Make: With minimal effort and ingredients, this sauce brings maximum flavor to your plate.
Ingredients:
- Butter
- Shallot (finely chopped)
- Salt & Pepper
- White Wine (or broth as a substitute)
- Heavy Cream
- Blue Cheese Crumbles
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Garlic Powder
- Chopped Chives
Instructions:
- Melt Butter & Sauté Shallot: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the finely chopped shallots with a pinch of salt. Cook until they’re soft and beginning to color, which should take about 5 minutes.
- Create the Sauce Base: Pour in the white wine, letting it bubble for a minute. Then, stir in the heavy cream, half of the blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Once bubbling, cool for 5 minutes allowing the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining blue cheese and fresh chives. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately over your favorite steak.
Expert Tips:
- Boost the Flavor: If you pan-sear your steak, use the same pan for the sauce. The browned bits from the steak infuse the sauce with rich flavors.
- Thickness to Preference: For a denser sauce, simmer until it’s reduced to your liking. If it gets too thick, add some milk or a squeeze of lemon for a lighter note.
Serving Suggestions:
This sauce isn’t just limited to steak. You can serve it with potatoes, veggies, or even drizzle it over lean meats like chicken.
