Sub-Recipe Directions

Blue Cheese Sauce

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2: Once the butter is melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.

Step 3: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4: Reduce heat to low and add the crumbled blue cheese to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese is melted and well incorporated into the sauce.

Step 5: Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder. Stir to combine.

Step 6: Season with salt and pepper.

Step 7: Remove saucepan from heat and allow sauce cool slightly before serving. The sauce will thicken as it cools.

Step 8: Gently fold in chopped parsley.

Step 9: Serve as needed.

Garlic Parmesan Steak Fries

Step 1: Cook fries according to manufactures instructions.

Step 2: While the fries are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3: Add minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 4: Once the fries are done cooking, remove them from the fryer and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5: Pour garlic butter over the fries and toss to coat evenly.

Step 6: Add grated Parmesan cheese and toss again until well coated.

Step 7: Remove from mixing bowl and use as needed.
