Steaks With Roquefort Sauce

Steaks With Roquefort Sauce

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

Step 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.

Step 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.
