Gruyere Cheese Sauce Food

CHARRED STEAK AND BROCCOLINI WITH CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Season steaks all over with pepper and 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt. Let sit 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss broccolini, oil, and 1/2 tsp. kosher salt on a rimmed baking sheet to combine. Spread out in a single layer and set aside.
• Using tongs if needed, hold both steaks together fat cap side down in a large ovenproof skillet, then set over high heat. Cook until pan is coated in fat, about 4 minutes. Lay steaks flat and continue to sear until deeply browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and roast steaks until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 120°F for medium-rare, 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• While steaks are resting, roast reserved broccolini until crisp-tender and lightly charred, about 10 minutes.
• Heat cheese, cream cheese, milk, nutmeg, cayenne, and remaining 1/4 tsp. kosher salt in a medium saucepan over medium, whisking constantly, until a smooth sauce forms, about 5 minutes.
• Divide sauce among plates. Top with broccolini and steaks; sprinkle with sea salt.

CHEESY BéCHAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the flour to make a roux.
• Allow the roux to cook for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring.
• Add the milk a little at a time, whisking it continuously, allowing the mixture to blend and thicken. This will take about 10 minutes, although 20 minutes is recommended by cooking school instructors. Lower the heat to medium-low if needed.
• Add the salt, pepper, nutmeg, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese , and hot sauce, if using. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted. Remove the sauce from the heat and use it immediately. Enjoy.

GRUYERE BECHAMEL

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until foamy. Add flour and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is pale golden and has a slightly nutty aroma, about 5 minutes. Stir in Dijon.
• Whisking constantly, pour in 2 cups milk and whisk until smooth. Cook over medium-high, whisking often along the bottom of pan, until boiling, about 7 minutes.

CHICORY/WITLOF WITH GRUYERE AND HAM

Steps:

• Clean chicory heads, remove outer leaves and cut off about 1 cm from the thick end of the chicory.
• Fill a large pot with water and add lemon, butter and salt, add chicory and boil for about 20-30 minutes or until tender (cooking time depends on the size of the chicories) Once cooked, drain really well (or all the excess water will leak out later and make your cheese sauce very very thin).
• Take 2 slices of ham and arrange them slightly overlapping on a cutting board, using tongs, place a chicory in the middle, sprinkle a small amount of the grated gruyere on and roll it up. (when I make this as a main course I personally use 3 slices of ham for each chicory, but that's just personal preference).
• Place the ham rolled chicory in an ovenproof dish.
• To make the cheese sauce:.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan, take off the heat and add the flour, using a whisk to blend it into a smooth paste with the cream and then add the milk, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Return the sauce to the heat to cook and thicken, whisking constantly. Don't worry if it looks overly thick, no matter how much water you get out of the chicory there will still be some left in there somewhere to make your sauce a little bit thinner.
• Lastly, add the rest of the grated Gruyere to the sauce (and Sbrinz cheese if you are using that too) stir, and then pour the sauce over the ham rolled chicorys.
• Put into a preheated oven at 220 C (425 F) for 10-20 minutes and serve hot.
• Serve with any pasta type that will coat with the sauce well.
• NOTE: I sometimes replace the cream with a soya product that we have here called "soya cusine" if you are watching your intake of dairy products, cholesterol etc then this is a healthier option and doesn't effect the taste of the dish at all.
