Steaks With Roquefort Sauce
Description
This recipe came to me when I was doing a Spanish themed party for a Hemingway book. Everyone LOVED the sauce so much I try to make it all the time. However, if you don't like bleu cheese, I wouldn't try it. I also substitute whiskey for the brandy, or any liquor that isn't sweet.
Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons butter
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
4 (5 ounce) beef sirloin steaks
•
salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
•
2 tablespoons brandy
•
1 cup heavy cream
•
3 ounces Roquefort cheese, crumbled
•
Italian flat leaf parsley, for garnish
Directions
1
Melt the butter and heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, and quickly sear on both sides. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking steaks 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
2
Pour brandy into the skillet and stir to loosen browned bits from bottom. Stir in cream, and return to a boil. Cook and stir until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Mix cheese into the sauce until melted. Pour over the steaks to serve. Garnish steaks with parsley.
