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).

I'm not a huge fan of cheese, but I actually really enjoyed this sauce. It's not too heavy or overpowering.

I found this sauce to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs.

This rarebit sauce is a bit too cheesy for my taste, but it's still pretty good.

This rarebit sauce was a hit at our last dinner party. It's so rich and cheesy, and it goes perfectly with toasted bread or vegetables.
