Ingredients

  1. 4 (1 1/4-inch thick) boneless rib eye steaks
  2. Good olive oil
  3. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  4. Stilton Sauce, recipe follows
  5. 1/2 cup good mayonnaise
  6. 1/2 cup sour cream
  7. 4 ounces Stilton cheese, crumbled
  8. 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  9. 1 tablespoon chopped scallions, white and green parts
  10. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  11. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  12. 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Thirty minutes before grilling the steaks, remove them from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. Heat a grill with coals. 
  2. When the coals are hot, spread them out in the grill in one solid layer. Pat the steaks dry on both sides with paper towels and brush each side lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle them liberally with salt and pepper. Place the steaks on the hot grill and sear them on each side for 2 minutes, until browned. Place the lid on the grill and allow the steaks to cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until they are cooked rare, or 120 degrees on a meat thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you’re actually testing the middle of the steak.) Remove the steaks from the grill, place them in one layer on a platter, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow the steaks to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve warm with the Stilton Sauce.
  3. Place the Stilton in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend until finely minced. Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Process until smooth. Serve at room temperature.

I made this sauce with my steaks and it was delicious. I didn’t have Stilton cheese so used fresh shaved Parmesan and also some grated Parmesan in container. Was so good! Pretty much tastes like sour cream and onion. Yummy and creamy.

It is incredibly difficult to move from one recipe to another.  I want to download recipes from the Barefoot Contessa that I saw last week and I could pull teeth easier than moving from one of her recipes to the next!!!

Usually I make ina’s mustard sauce to go with my rib roast , but this Christmas, I thought I would try the stilton sauce. I doubled the Worcestershire, and I think i’ll put it back in the processor and add a bit more scallion and blue cheese, and a dash more salt and pepper. Really good just needs a bit more oomph.

One of the worst recipes I have ever tried.  It is a paste, not a sauce.  Way to heavy and thick and almost no bleu cheese bite.  I doubled the amount of stilton and the taste was better but it  made it even more like glue.  Don’t ruin a perfectly good steak by using this glop on it.

this is delicious – the sauce is perfect. It does not have a strong taste of any one component… is smooth and if you dollop a generous portion on one end of the steak or maybe a smaller amount in the center of the meat, it melts and thinly coats it – top it with additional chopped scallions just for presentation

Well, what can go wrong with a good chunk of Stilton? Certainly not this sauce! Ina’s recipes are so consistently excellent on their own, but this time I added double the Worcestershire sauce and scallion. I made this for my husband and I, and I think I have enough left-over to last a year! Next time, I will 1/2 the recipe.
