So today we grilled our first steak of the year outside, and thought we’d re-run this recipe from last fall:

Whiskey and Blue Cheese Sauce

Whiskey, Mushrooms and Blue Cheese Sauce for Steaks

A rich and very satisfying sauce for a grilled steak. Add a green salad and glass of wine and you’re all set! (4 servings)

8 ounces baby bella or crimini mushrooms, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1 medium size white onion, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tbs butter
1 tbs olive oil
1/4 C walnut pieces
1/4 C blue cheese crumbles
Freshly ground sea salt and mixed peppercorns
1 ounce scotch whiskey

Steaks, seasoned with sea salt and peppercorns and grilled to your preference.

Heat the butter and oil together on medium high heat. Add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Saute until the mushrooms and onions begin to release their juices. Reduce heat to low and cook, gently, for about 45 minutes, or until the onions have nearly dissolved and the mushrooms are browning. Add the walnut pieces and cook until lightly golden. Add the whiskey and stir for about 10 seconds. Add the blue cheese and spoon over the steaks.
