Tender Beef Smothered In Stilton Cheese Sauce Food

STEAKS AND STILTON SAUCE

Steps:

• Thirty minutes before grilling the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Heat a grill with coals.
• When the coals are hot, spread them out in the grill in one solid layer. Pat the steaks dry on both sides with paper towels and brush each side lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them on each side for 2 minutes, until browned. Place the lid on the grill and allow the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are cooked rare, or 120 degrees on a meat thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.) Remove the steaks from the grill, place them in one layer on a platter, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the Stilton Sauce.
• Place the Stilton in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190 degrees C Gas Mark 5. Coat the ramekins with the butter and sprinkle over parmesan to coat all sides well.
• Mix the cornflour with 20ml of the milk to form a roux, or paste. Heat the remaining milk until near boiling then add the roux, stirring constantly. Return to the pan, add a bayleaf and continue to stir until a smooth consistency is reached. Avoid any lumps at all cost.
• Pour the sauce into a large bowl and beat in the egg yolks one at a time. Add the stilton and stir until it melts. Season to taste. Boil the asparagus then blend two thirds (Or thereabouts) of it and add to the mixture. Pour all of this into a food processor and blend until all lumps are removed.
• Whisk the egg whites in a spotlessly clean bowl until stiff peaks form, whisk a third of these into the mixture to lighten it then gently fold in the rest.

STILTON (BLUE CHEESE) STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Shave or crumble about 1- 1 1/2 CUPS of the Blue cheese into a small heavy sauce pan.
• Add about 1/4 cup Hellman's full fat mayonnaise. (This is the emumiant that keeps everything together).
• I add a LOT (a full teaspoon) of pepper, I grind it right into the pan. Fresh really makes a difference.
• Add salt to taste (I don't use any if I use the rind of the cheese as it is often hardened with salt).
• Warm the pan slowly while constantly stirring. It will melt, don't give up.
• If you heat it too fast, or don't still it will separate.
• The mayo will forgive some sins, but not many, so stir!
• This will make a THICK sauce.
• More mayo will thin it some.
• Milk can thin it if it is too strong.
