RAREBIT SAUCE

Categories     condiment

Time 30m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

16 ounces proper beer or any brand English golden ale
24 ounces whole milk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1/4 cup bacon fat
1 medium yellow onion, small diced
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons thyme leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup grated Irish Cheddar
1 1/2 cups crumbled blue cheese
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pot, bring the beer and milk to a simmer (180 degrees F).
  • While you are bringing the milk and beer to a simmer, in a separate sauce pot, melt the butter and bacon fat. Once melted, add the onions and sweat until translucent. Add the flour to make the roux, making sure you stir continually so it gets nice and toasty, but doesn't burn to the bottom of the pot. De-glaze the pan with the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, white wine vinegar and thyme. By this time, the milk and beer should be ready to add to the roux. Add slowly, continually stirring to break up chunks and emulsify the mixture. Bring the mixture up to 185 degrees F and remove from the heat. Add the Irish Cheddar, blue cheese and salt and blend with an immersion blender (if you don't have an immersion blender, add the cheese while the mixture is still hot and whisk vigorously with a whisk to fully incorporate).

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 large Russet potatoes
EVOO, for the pans
4 slices bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 clove garlic, finely grated or pasted
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Splash of half-and-half or whole milk
2 pounds 80-percent ground beef (if you grind your own, use 1/2-pound each skirt steak, brisket and sirloin)
About 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 small white or yellow onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cup Irish stout, such as Guinness
1/2 pound sliced Cotswold or extra-sharp yellow Cheddar
Brioche or potato rolls, lightly toasted
Bread-and-butter pickles, for topping
Watercress, for topping

Steps:

  • Peel the potatoes, then slice into thin wedges or cut into 3/4-inch dice. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of EVOO. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, then drain on a paper-towel-lined plate. Add the potatoes to the fat in the skillet and season with a little salt and lots of pepper. Cook until browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Cover with foil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and cook until crisp, 7 to 8 more minutes.
  • Mix the sour cream, chives, dill, garlic, horseradish, 2 tablespoons parsley and half-and-half or milk in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the beef, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard cayenne or hot sauce and the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and lots of pepper.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Brush with oil, then add the beef mixture in 4 loose balls of equal size (do not shape them with your hands). Flatten with a spatula into 3/4-inch-thick patties. Scatter the onion slices over the top and press in with the spatula. Cook for 3 minutes, then flip and press the onion into the patties. Cook for 2 more minutes. Douse the pan with the beer and lay the cheese over the patties. Cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
  • Serve the burgers on the rolls with pickles and watercress. Drizzle the horseradish sauce over the potatoes and serve on the side.

Tips:

  • To make a smooth sauce, use a good-quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
  • Grate the cheese finely so that it melts evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the sauce immediately over toast, vegetables, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Rarebit sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese, and it can be easily tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like it mild or spicy, thick or thin, rarebit sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
