Miriam's tips for the perfect blue cheese sauce:

  • I love serving this blue cheese sauce with steak, but it’s also delicious drizzled over roasted vegetables or as a dip for crunchy breadsticks. Alternatively, you could stir it through freshly cooked pasta for an easy midweek meal.
  • If you prefer a milder flavour, you can use a different blue cheese instead of stilton: something creamier like dolcelatte or St Agur works beautifully and melts smoothly into the sauce.
  • You need to melt the cheese gently over a low heat and avoid letting the sauce boil. This helps it stay smooth and creamy, rather than becoming grainy or splitting.
  • If you have any leftover sauce, it keeps well in the fridge for a couple of days. Simply reheat gently in a pan, adding a splash of milk if it’s too thick.

Method

  • step 1

    Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour and let cook for 1 min or so. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and all the milk has been added. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season to taste and serve.
