Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.75 cup crumbled bleu cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and just starting to bubble.
Step 2
Add the all-purpose flour to the melted butter, whisking continuously to create a smooth paste (roux). Cook the roux for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove any raw flour taste.
Step 3
Gradually pour in the whole milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, and then add the heavy cream. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled bleu cheese. Mix gently until the cheese melts and incorporates into the sauce, creating a creamy, smooth consistency.
Step 5
Add the garlic powder, black pepper, and optional salt. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings to your preference.
Step 6
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Step 7
Serve warm over steaks, burgers, pasta, roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for wings.
