Description
Rich Stilton sauce by Jamie Oliver elevates classic steak with bold British flavor. Creamy blue cheese blend complements grilled meat perfectly for an indulgent dinner experience you won’t forget.
Ingredients
Scale
- 50 g (1.8 oz) stilton (or other blue cheese), chopped or crumbled
- 150 ml (5.1 fl oz) heavy cream or full-fat cream
- 25 g (0.9 oz) butter
- ½ tbsp plain flour
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp dried rosemary powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Butter Infusion: Gently melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, avoiding browning.
- Aromatic Base: Introduce finely chopped garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, releasing its essential oils.
- Roux Development: Sprinkle flour and dried rosemary, whisking to create a smooth, uniform base that will provide rich texture and depth to the sauce.
- Cream Incorporation: Stream heavy cream into the skillet, stirring continuously to create a velvety, lump-free foundation for the sauce.
- Cheese Transformation: Reduce heat and gently simmer, then crumble Stilton cheese directly into the cream, stirring until completely melted and integrated, creating a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Final Seasoning: Adjust flavors with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, tasting to balance the inherent saltiness of the Stilton while achieving a harmonious flavor profile.
- Serving Preparation: Remove from heat and transfer the silky sauce to a serving vessel, ready to complement a perfectly cooked steak or preferred protein.
Notes
- Gentle Butter Melting: Use low to medium heat to prevent burning, ensuring a smooth base for the sauce.
- Garlic Precision: Chop finely and sauté briefly to release aromatic flavors without burning or becoming bitter.
- Roux Technique: Whisk flour and rosemary thoroughly to eliminate lumps and create a silky sauce foundation.
- Cheese Incorporation: Add Stilton gradually and stir consistently to achieve a smooth, even texture without separation.
