A rich and creamy Blue Cheese Sauce made with Stilton, cream, and a touch of Worcestershire sauce. Perfect for drizzling over steaks, roasted vegetables, or pasta, this sauce combines the bold flavor of blue cheese with a smooth, velvety texture achieved by cooking over gentle heat.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 banana shallot, finely chopped (or ½ small onion)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 150 ml (½ cup + 2 tbsp) double (heavy) cream
  • 125 g (4½ oz) Stilton, crumbled or chopped (or use Gorgonzola for a milder flavor)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and slightly bubbling.
  2. Sauté Shallots: Add the finely chopped banana shallot to the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are softened and translucent.
  3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, allowing the garlic to release its aroma without browning.
  4. Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the double cream and add the crumbled Stilton cheese. Reduce the heat to low and stir continuously for about 5 minutes as the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Use the back of your spoon to break down the cheese into a smooth consistency.
  5. Season Sauce: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and freshly ground black pepper to incorporate their flavors evenly into the sauce.
  6. Finish and Serve: Serve the sauce immediately while warm, or let it simmer on low heat for a few more minutes to thicken further, stirring regularly to prevent sticking.

Notes

  • Use Stilton for a strong, traditional flavor or substitute with Gorgonzola for a milder taste.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a little extra cream or milk.
  • Best served immediately, but can be gently reheated on low heat with careful stirring.
  • Pairs excellently with grilled or pan-seared steaks, roasted vegetables, or drizzled over pasta.
  • Adjust Worcestershire sauce according to your preferred tanginess and saltiness.
