Ingredients
Blue Butter
- 50 grams Blue cheese
- 25 grams Butter
- a dash Worcestershire sauce
Steaks and Pan Sauce
- 4 Steak
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- a splash Red wine
- 250 ml Beef stock
- 1 Tbsp Barker’s Black Cherry & Pinot Noir Fruit for Cheese
Method
- Make the blue cheese butter, using a fork mash together the blue cheese and butter. Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce and the thyme. Place on a piece of baking paper and roll into a log. Keep in the fridge until ready to use.
- Pan-fry the steaks, heat a large frying pan until hot. Rub the steaks with a little oil and grind over black pepper. Place in the pan ensuring they are not touching to prevent the meat from steaming. Pan-fry for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare steak. Remove from the pan and place on a warmed plate. Season with salt and cover loosely.
- Add a splash of red wine to the hot pan then pour in the stock. Reduce until the sauce is syrupy, stirring in the Barker's Black Cherry & Pinot Noir Fruit for Cheese when you are happy with the consistency. Check seasoning.
- Serve steaks with blue cheese butter and the sauce.
