Stilton Steak Sauce

I love a good quality steak and adding a sauce makes it one of my favourite meals, but it is something that can be expensive when I eat out. But why save simple dishes like this for restaurants? Steaks are easy to cook, and yield a delicious result, perfect for an end-of-the-week pick-me-up treat, a romantic meal at home or a dinner party.

I love adding this richly flavoured creamy Stilton sauce with my steak to make it a really fully flavoured treat. As an added bonus it’s really quick and easy to make at home, with only eight simple ingredients and three stages.

While I made this sauce with creamy Stilton, it would work with any blue cheese. So if you don’t have Stilton, but do have Roquefort or Gorgonzola in your fridge then don’t worry, just use that, and let me know in the comments how it worked for you.

This sauce is too good to restrict to steak; it’s also delicious with chicken or as a dip for chips or potato wedges.

Fuss Free Tips for cooking the perfect steak

I like to cook my steak on a searing hot griddle pan; my top tips with steak are first, oil the steak – not the pan, and second, don’t move it round whilst cooking.

Flip your steak once, then when it is cooked pop it onto a warmed plate and cover it with a piece of foil for a few minutes to rest. By allowing it to rest all the juice will be reabsorbed into the meat leaving you with a lovely juicy steak

How to make Quick and Easy Stilton Steak Sauce

Grab your ingredients – and peel and chop the onion and garlic.

Step one – Melt the butter in a frying pan on a medium heat, and fry the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt until starting to turn golden. Whilst it is cooking use a fork to crumble the Stilton.

Step two – Turn the heat down and add the cream, then the Stilton.

Step three – Allow to simmer over a low heat stirring all the time until the Stilton has melted. Add a squeeze of lemon (or a splash of dry white wine, Champagne or prosecco) to cut through the richness and lighten the sauce.

The Stilton sauce is ready when it has thickened and it coats the back of a spoon or you can draw a line in the bottom of the pan. Check the seasoning and serve.

Perfect Stilton Sauce for Steak – Hints and Tips

Frozen leftover Stilton can be used in this recipe.
There is no need to remove the rind.
Any strong blue cheese would be delicious. Try Roquefort, soft cheeses like Gorgonzola or Dolcelatte.
Don’t skip the lemon juice – it cuts through the richness and makes a big difference to the flavour. Take care not to accidentally add any pips (seeds) as they taste horrible if you accidentally crunch one.
If you don’t have lemon then add a splash of dry white wine, champagne or prosecco.
If the sauce gets too thick then add a splash of milk to thin it.
You can make this Stilton sauce ahead and reheat to serve.

60 ml double cream
50 g Stilton (crumbled. You can use any other blue cheese)

1 squeeze lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Recipe Notes

Prepare in advance and then reheat. Add milk to thin if needed.
You can save time and use pre-chopped frozen onion. When I have half an onion spare, I dice it, freeze it (spread out on a silicone mat), and keep it in the freezer in an airtight plastic box.
