Ingredients

Scale

Blue Cheese Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • ⅓ cup shallots, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup white wine (e.g., Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Heat a saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter completely to provide a flavorful base for the sauce.
  2. Sauté Shallots: Add the thinly sliced shallots and cook them until they soften and begin to caramelize lightly, enhancing their sweetness and flavor.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 15 seconds, ensuring not to let it brown to avoid bitterness.
  4. Deglaze with White Wine: Pour in the white wine, such as Pinot Grigio, and allow it to reduce by half, concentrating the flavors and reducing acidity.
  5. Add Cream and Seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream, fresh chopped thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and ground black pepper to blend the flavors together.
  6. Incorporate Gorgonzola Cheese: Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and stir until the cheese melts into the cream mixture, creating a rich, smooth sauce.
  7. Simmer Sauce: Let the sauce simmer gently for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  8. Serve: Remove the sauce from heat and immediately serve warm over your favorite cut of steak for an indulgent meal.

Notes

  • Use a good quality white wine for best flavor; avoid cooking wines.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a splash of heavy cream or broth.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and gently reheated over low heat.
  • For a milder flavor, substitute Gorgonzola with a less pungent blue cheese.
  • Pair the sauce with ribeye, filet mignon, or sirloin steaks.
