Blue Cheese Sauce for Steak

This sauce goes beyond a dipping sauce for buffalo wings. It has the elements of a gourmet steak sauce. While the sauce is the star of this recipe, so many folks asked about the feature image of the steak, which was a super easy preparation and here is the recipe.

  1. Pat a 1-2 pound sirloin steak dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season the steak with 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt, 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper and 2 teaspoons finely minced garlic. Allow it to sit for 1 hour at room temperature.
  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. If it isn’t well seasoned or not non-stick, add 1-2 teaspoons of a high smoke point oil, just enough to prevent sticking.
  4. When the pan is hot, add the steak, cooking on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until well browned. This will be rare. Test with an instant meat thermometer to get an exact cook.
  5. Remove to a cutting board and slice against the grain. With this cut of beef, this might mean you need to rotate the roast and have different size slices.
  6. Top the slices with crispy fried onions, blue cheese sauce, additional blue cheese crumbles and minced chives or scallions (green onions).

Ingredients

All it takes are some simple ingredients to whip up this sauce.

  • Blue cheese crumbles – You can find these in the store already crumbled or you buy a wedge of it and crumble it at home.
  • Plain Greek yogurt – We prefer to use full fat Greek yogurt for maximum creaminess but  you can use a low fat version if you prefer. 
  • Heavy cream – Cream helps to create the thick consistency. 
  • Garlic clove – Grate the garlic finely so that it mixes into the sauce well. Using a microplane helps to make the garlic super fine. 
  • Worcestershire sauce – This sauce adds depth and umami to the sauce.
  • Fresh lemon juice – Lemon gives the sauce a slight touch of citrus.
  • Lemon zest – Zest helps to further brighten the sauce. 
  • Coarse kosher salt – Salt helps to balance all of the flavors. 
  • Ground black pepper – Grind it fresh or just shake it from the shaker.

What To Serve With Blue Cheese Sauce

  • Burgers – Spread this tangy blue cheese sauce on your bun for a deliciously funky burger.
  • Chicken wings – Serve this sauce alongside Buffalo wings for dipping.
  • Grilled chicken – Kick up the flavor on your typical grilled chicken by serving this alongside or spooning it over top.
  • Vegetables – Use the sauce as a dressing for any green salad. You can also serve it as a blue cheese dip with fresh veggies.
  • Potatoes – Add a dollop on top of a baked potato, whip it into your mashed potatoes, or dip french fries into it.
  • Dip – Make a dip like Buffalo chicken dip with this sauce as the base.

This standard recipe can be dressed up in lots of different ways. 

  • Powders – Add dashes of garlic powder or onion powder. 
  • Heat – Make it spicy with a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. 
  • Creamy base – Instead of Greek yogurt, use mayonnaise or sour cream. 
  • Cheese – Substitute other similarly textured cheeses like queso fresco, feta, and goat cheese.
