Beurre De Roquefort Roquefort Butter Recipes

STEAKS WITH ROQUEFORT SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter and heat the oil in a skillet over high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, and quickly sear on both sides. Reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking steaks 5 minutes on each side, or to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Pour brandy into the skillet and stir to loosen browned bits from bottom. Stir in cream, and return to a boil. Cook and stir until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Mix cheese into the sauce until melted. Pour over the steaks to serve. Garnish steaks with parsley.

BEURRE DE ROQUEFORT (ROQUEFORT BUTTER)

Steps:

• Simmer the shallots in the wine in a small saucepan until the wine is reduced to almost nothing.
• Cool to room temperature and combine with the remaining ingredients (be careful with salt--the cheese is powerful).
• Use a food processor, an immersion blender (my method) or your muscles, and combine this well--but don't over-mix or it will become a greasy mess.
• Turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap; roll into a log and chill.
• When chilled enough to be slightly firm, shape into a nice cylinder, or what ever shapes you prefer or pack into a decorative mold if you are using as a spread.
• At this point, either chill or freeze.
• Note: If you wish to use this to decorate you can, while it is still soft, place in a pastry bag and pipe the cheese butter into whatever shapes or onto whatever dish you wish to garnish.

ROQUEFORT BUTTER

Steps:

• Place the butter and Roquefort cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the scallions and mix until combined. Cut a strip of parchment paper 4 1/2 inches wide and place the mixture on the short end of the paper. Roll into a log about 1 inch in diameter, rolling the parchment paper around the butter mixture. Chill.

FILLET OF BEEF WITH ROQUEFORT BUTTER (LA RESIDENCE)

Steps:

• Combine the butter, cheese, onion, chives, parsley, shallots, garlic, salt and pepper. Beat well to blend.
• Spoon the mixture into the center of a length of waxed paper and roll into a neat sausage shape, about 1 1/2 inches thick. Chill thoroughly.
• Meanwhile preheat a charcoal grill (see note) and preheat the oven to 350 degrees
• Place each filet on a flat surface and pound lightly with a mallet to flatten slightly. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper and brush both sides with a little oil.
• Place the filets on the heated grill and cook, turning once, about three to four minutes on each side, or to the desired degree of doneness. Place the steaks on six ovenproof dinner plates.
• Cut the butter roll into six individual slices. Arrange one slice of butter on each steak. Place in the oven about two minutes or less or until the butter is melted. Serve immediately.

ROQUEFORT TERRINE

Steps:

• Purée half of cheese with butter in a food processor. Transfer purée to a bowl and fold in remaining cheese, 1/4 cup nuts, and pepper. Spoon into a small crock and smooth top. Chill, covered, at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
• Before serving, let terrine soften about 30 minutes, then sprinkle top with remaining tablespoon nuts.

BIG-BATCH ROQUEFORT DRESSING
