Ingredients:
* 1 shallot
* 4-5 heaping Tbs bleu cheese (a sharp Roquefort is the classic choice)
* 2 Tbs marsala wine
* 3 heaping Tbs creme fraiche
* 1 Tbs butter
* 1 Tbs chopped fresh or frozen thyme
a good grinding of fresh pepper
Finely chop shallot and sauté in the butter. When it is soft, add the marsala wine and turn up the heat. to deglaze the pan. Once the wine has reduced by half, add the cheese, crumbling as you go. Stir in the creme fraiche and frozen thyme and taste for salt (should need any) and pepper (definitely).
Let the sauce bubble away and reduce while you cook your rare steaks and remove the potatoes from the oven. Serve over the steaks; you should have enough for a generous amount on two steaks and maybe even a little left over for your potato. Delish!
Notes: as you will have noticed, this sauce doesn't rely on any of the beef juices for flavour (though you could throw in your meat juices, if any). It works equally well on vegetable dishes, fish, fowl...whatever. ¹ Blue cheese, known in French as bleu cheese
