Time 20m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

olive oil (for frying)
1 1/2 lbs round steaks
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (Chablis type)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped yellow onions
1 tablespoon glace de viande
1/4 teaspoon dried whole rosemary
2 tablespoons softened butter
2 tablespoons blue cheese (mixed well with the butter)
salt and pepper
chopped parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat a large frying pan. Add the olive oil and the steaks to you perfection. (I like mine rare, very rare.) Remove to a warm plate and add the wine and the garlic and onion. Sauté just a minute and deglaze the pan by scrapping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Allow the wine to reduce be half and then add the glace de viande and the rosemary. Simmer for a moment and add the butter mixed with the cheese. Mix with a wire whip until smooth.
  • Place a bit of the sauce on each plate and then a piece of the stake on top of the sauce. Add the salt and pepper at the very last, as salt will dry out the meat during the cooking process. Garnish with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is the star of this dish, so it's important to use a high-quality cheese that you enjoy the taste of. A hard cheese like Parmesan or cheddar will work well, but you can also use a softer cheese like Brie or Camembert.
  • Use a sturdy bread: The bread needs to be able to hold up to the cheese, so a sturdy bread like a baguette or sourdough is a good choice. You can also use a softer bread like a white bread, but it may not hold up as well.
  • Don't overcook the cheese: The cheese should be melted and gooey, but it shouldn't be overcooked and rubbery. Keep an eye on the cheese while it's cooking and remove it from the heat as soon as it's melted.
  • Serve the cheese immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the cheese is still melted and gooey. You can also serve it with a side of crackers or bread.

Conclusion:

Piping cheese is a delicious and easy way to enjoy cheese. It's perfect for a party or a snack, and it's also a great way to use up leftover cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and impressive cheese dish that everyone will love.
