How about a mustard sauce.... a little different.





Make a basic white sauce:





1/2oz butter


1/2oz plain flour


1/2 pint milk





Melt butter in a saucepan, then stir in flour and mix till combined, gently add the milk in small quantities, stirring all the time, when all milk added, continue to stir till comes to the boil, simmer for 3-4 minutes till thick, stirring occassionally.





Add 2tsp dry mustard mixed with 2tsp vinegar, stir in well and serve.

Or mushroom sauce.





Make basic white sauce as above, but instead of adding mustard, add 3oz of mushrooms, previously chopped and fried off in butter

Bernaise Sauce - slightly more difficult





2tbsp tarragon wine vinegar


3 tbsp wine vingar


1 tbsp finely chopped onion


2 egg yolks


2 tsp cold water


4 oz butter, softened


salt %26amp; pepper


1 tbsp chopped parsley





Put both vinegar and onion into a pan, boil gently until liquid is reduced by about a third.





Leave until cold and strain, keeping liquid.





Put egg yolks, reduced vinegar liquid and water into a double saucepan (or basin standing on pan of simmering water). Whisk until thick and fluffy.





Gradually add butter, a tiny piece at a time. Continue whisking until each piece has been absorbed and the sauce has thickened.





Season to taste and stir in parsley.

Honey %26amp; Mustard or Mushroom
Towie Barclay Sauce





served at the Towie Tavern in the North East of Scotland:





1 carton of double cream


2 - 3 slices of smoked back bacon


1 - 2 small tomatoes


1 heaped tablespoon of wholegrain mustard


port or red wine to taste





sit the tomatoes in hot water to deskin them, then quarter them and dispose of the hard cores, cut the deskinned quarters into cubes





cut the fat off the bacon and cut bacon into 1cm thin strips





put the cream, mustard bacon and tomatoes onto a gentle heat and simmer until bacon is cooked, and the port or red wine to taste and enjoy with your steak! x
personally, I don't think anything will top a touch of Worcestershire sauce, but bleu cheese butter is pretty good.
Have you tried just melting the stilton on top under the grill instead of making sauce? yummy!
I'm Italian but I like the tipical French sauce: poivre vert.





In a pan, with a nod of butter, let 30 gr of green peppercorns melt. Add 300 ml of your favourite stock, half a glass of wine and let it reduce. Then add 150 ml of double creem. It will be quite spicy and just perfect with your meat!
