Blue Cheese Sauce for ya Veni

There is plenty of blue cheese haters out there so if you can’t stand the toe jam smelling mouldy cheese then you need not continue reading.
Me on the other hand, god damn I love it! I personally believe it is the greatest sauce to go with a nice venison or beef steak.

Anyway pretty simple to make…

Bring 1 cup of cream to a slow boil in a pot on the stove top. Crumble a whole wedge of blue cheese in to the cream, mix it in on a low/medium heat.
Add a handful of chopped parsley, then a splash of white wine. No salted need as the blue is salty enough once reduced, do add a little cracked pepper.

Reduce it down on a low heat till it thickens up & begins to hang off the spoon a bit.

Let it cool slightly, then lay it heavy on the veni!

Enjoy.

if someone asks for sauce to go with steak in my house,they are deprived of meal and a supermarket sausage is offered if not a slice of dog roll....
but yeah that sounds good.

Can't go past a creamy Castello blue :drool:

Will try this

I make mine with mushrooms, onion and just half a wedge of blue cheese. Not as strong but non-believers soon learn to like it.

If I wanted my food mouldy.........;)

Wow! Who would have thought that sauce could divide us like this?

I do a thin bechemel (white sauce) and add grated mushroom and blue cheese once the mushroom has cooked. Freshly ground black pepper goes in last. This also works with cheddar instead of blue cheese for those with more delicate palletes. Versatile and delicious!

i was ok till parsley!!
yuch!

Had Venni burgers Sunday night...topped off with crumbly BLUE....awesome.....

This has my personal seal of bloody yum, and I offer a sight variation to the recipe, that may provide additional enjoyment.

With either a fried/seared steak or a roast, take any juices left over (not any fat swimming on top- enough fat in the cream and cheese) and mix some, into the finished Blue cheese sauce.

The colour will change but the flavour will be enhanced.

Yum.

I figgure I hunted deer down,shot it,carried the hua for goodness knows how long and far,cut it up with care ,aged it with worried frown,then thawed it seasoned it and cooked it wit hall the love n attention I can..the least a person could do is try it as Ive presented it

medium rare steak on buttered bread with salt and a little pepper is absolutely devine food
yo uhave to eat it outside as butter n juices drip off fingers n chin
to me...this is how steak was meant to be eaten...and enjoyed....
if you cant appreciate steak like this,yo umay as well be a vegan!!!!
gave my last boss a backsteak and rump steak both still in whole muscle form,from a fat fallow hind shot 3 hours earlier..the bastard casseroled it!!!!!!!!
I nearly spewed when heard that...last time he got anything from me.

Venny burgers get a lift with a smatter of blue cheese, so I am thinking the sauce might be even better. How does Horse radish combine with Blue Cheese, anyone tried ?

@Micky Duck - I would gladly sit down for buttered bread and good steak - one of the sublime pleasures in life is a well aged steak, cooked to perfection, served without adulterants. Sometimes, however, when the meat is average, it can be lifted on the wings of a good sauce. Casserole may be a step too far though!

That made me laugh'
Some people i give stuff to only get it once.

Thanks for constructive criticism :D
I'm not quite ready to go vegan for adding a sauce to a dish just yet.
I understand that it can be overwhelming and intimidating to try new things, but it's also a great way to experience something new and have fun, What idea do you have for trying something new?? Maybe start small - like adding a new spice to a dish you like or trying a new cuisine.
Nar just playing with you mate, no hard feelings, different strokes for different folks

Crack up! Someone posts up a nice recipe and you guys turn it into a pissing and moaning session - great work fellas :thumbsup:

Sauce doesn't have to cover everything.

I like the 'purest' cooked steak, however a wee dunk in a nice sauce every third bite, just adds another flavour.
And the cheese sauce with mashed potato or brocolli as a side, sounds great. And the frypan scrapings as well added.... Very nice.

And the casserole, with mashed potatoes, and the cheese sauce... Mid winter bliss.


I guess, the big comment is-how ever you enjoy veni (or other food) do it. But also try other ways as well.

I'm not a fan of blue cheese but that sauce sounds great

But usually when someone serves you up some of their favourite concoction you need to ask what the f.... you just ate. Because it is covering everything.

Agreed and also dislike when people do this.

I'm not one of those people that must have everything separated on their plate (the corn can't touch the potatoes etc...) but I'm real close! I like to mix and match by the fork load, other wise the whole plate just tastes the same, every mouthful.....

but thats the whole beauty of the forum - hell if we were all polka dotted be boring -but ya do have to accept the simple fact that blue cheese sauce would not be a general choice for kiwi hunters

Not pissibg n moaning.hell some folks add mineral water to $600 bottles of champagne... Whatever makes you happy. Just not at my dining table lol

I have no trouble with trying something new.... and appreciate others like thier steak differently to me..heck my wife wont eat fallow and I need to incinerate her steak for her...but she eats it all.
Ive known people who have watties tomato sauce on everything including icecream!!!!
I was in no way having a go at you @JesseYoung not at all.... I appreciate a good steak on its own,masterfoods mild steak seasoning is my go to seasoning,and the garlic version is pretty good too.... I love mushrooms too...but Mrs not so keen so a mushy sauce is out for me.... I would definately try some on a lesser cut of meat,but yeah a bit of a steak snob these days...when its good I like it standing alone,if that makes sence???mixed on the fork as has been said above... now mushrooms,egg n chips I have no issue with LOL....spot the truck driver???
and the short/correct answer is bacon goes with everything
hmmm bacon and blue cheese sauce,you might be onto something there.

Some meat and the waybit was cooked needs a good sauce, cutting fuild you might say if it's been cooked with no love.

I do like a good sauce and will certainly be trying this blue cheese one soon. Can't go past a nice creamy mushroom sauce so might have to blend the two and send you some @Micky Duck

I absolutely detest blue cheese, but management loves it. She takes great pleasure in getting the stinkiest manckiest stuff she can find then tucks in beside me.

She likes the sound of your recipe so might give it a go.
Anyone have a BA I can borrow?

ohhh please not in creamy mushroom sauce - that should be a criminal offence

For those a little scared of blue cheese try this.....

Cracker, blue cheese and a little honey on top........ Boom! flavor experience like none other..!
