40 min 4 servings Medium
Steaks with Roquefort Sauce is a classic dish that combines the rich and robust flavours of beef with the creamy tanginess of Roquefort cheese. The sauce, made from this French blue cheese, adds a gourmet touch that elevates the dish to a restaurant-quality meal. This version of the dish is perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life and want to bring a touch of elegance to their dinner table. The creamy sauce complements the juicy, perfectly seared steaks, making it a favourite for special occasions or a luxurious weeknight treat.

Instructions

1

Prepare the steaks

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Pro tip: Letting the steaks come to room temperature ensures even cooking.

2

Heat the skillet

Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until it shimmers.

Pro tip: A hot skillet gives the steaks a perfect sear.

3

Sear the steaks

Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare (internal temperature of 57°C/135°F). Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.

4

Rest the steaks

Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate covered with foil for 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier steak.

5

Make the Roquefort sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Pro tip: Stir frequently to prevent the cream from scorching.

6

Add cheese and mustard

Add the crumbled Roquefort cheese and Dijon mustard to the cream. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Pro tip: Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

7

Serve

Pour the Roquefort sauce over the rested steaks and serve immediately.

Pro tip: Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of colour.
