Mushroom and Blue Cheese Sauce

This sauce goes particularly well with steak, but can be served with any red meat really.  Since I can remember my mother made this sauce with a steak braai {or barbeque as more commonly known in other countries}

What you need:
2 tablespoons Butter
4 tablespoons Flour
1 cup Full cream milk

250 ml Double cream
250 g Brown mushrooms
150 g Blue cheese {like gorgonzola}
1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a saucepan, heat the butter over medium-low heat until melted.  Add the flour and stir until smooth.  Over medium heat, cook mixture for about 2 min.  Add the heated milk, whisking until smooth.

Add the mushrooms, cheese, herbs and cream and stir until well mixed.

Bring to boil and allow to simmer for about 15 min {or until cheese is melted and mushrooms soft}

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Set aside until ready to serve.

{I find it best it you have it set aside for at least an hour, then slightly heat it before serving}
