Jamie Oliver Stilton Sauce for Steak
Jamie Oliver Stilton Sauce for Steak is a warm, creamy sauce made by gently melting Stilton cheese into cream and butter, then carefully seasoning. The sauce is smooth, rich, and bold, designed specifically to complement grilled or pan-seared steak.
Ingredients
- 150 g Stilton cheese, crumbled
- 200 ml double cream
- 25 g unsalted butter
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: a small splash of milk or cream to loosen
Instructions
Pour the double cream into a small saucepan and place it over low heat. Warm it slowly until just steaming. Avoid boiling, as high heat can cause the sauce to split later.
Stir in the butter and let it melt fully into the warm cream. This adds richness and helps create a smooth base before the cheese goes in.
Add the crumbled Stilton a little at a time, stirring constantly. Keep the heat low and allow the cheese to melt slowly into the cream. Patience here keeps the sauce silky rather than grainy.
Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stilton is naturally salty, so avoid adding salt until you’ve tasted the finished sauce.
If the sauce feels too thick, add a splash of milk or extra cream and stir gently until it reaches a pourable but coating consistency.
Remove the sauce from the heat and let it sit for 1–2 minutes. This helps the flavours settle and gives the sauce its final texture.
