Blue Cheese Sauce Recipe
Sauce au Roquefort

This is a very simple blue cheese sauce recipe that you can whip up as you are grilling steaks.

I use Roquefort cheese because it is readily available here in France. You may wish to substitute another blue cheese. Be sure to pick one that is crumbly, soft, and dissolves easily in your mouth for good results with this recipe. Gorganzola would work.

Since I like to skip meat, I make baked potatoes to go with the steaks I usually serve with this sauce. A baked potato with blue cheese sauce makes a very satisfying meal for vegetarians.

Sauce au Roquefort

Cook the shallots in the butter until soft, about 7 or 8 minutes. Don't brown them. Mix in the blue cheese using a fork to smash it into the butter and eventually form a smooth paste. Add the heavy cream and mix well. Heat to just below boiling. Stir in pepper and serve warm.
