Recipe: mushroom and blue cheese sauce (for steak . . .

. . . but it would also be nice on pork or chicken).

A cheat, of course, and there are probably much better saucerecipes but I had limited ingredients with me and was constrained by Slimming World expectations as well so I reckon I did OK.


Ingredients:
spray oil
one small onion, finely sliced
three mushrooms (I used chestnut mushrooms), peeled and finely chopped (use the stems as well, no point wasting anything)
a splash of milk (not counted because it was such a small amount)
two triangles of Laughing Cow Light blue cheese
a little bit of light soft cheese (to make the cheese up to 3 syns or half a healthy extra A)
salt/pepper to taste - I only needed a smidgen!

Method.
Spray some oil into a small non stick saucepan.  Add the onion and gently fry, stirring occasionally, until it is really soft.
Add the mushrooms, stir again and continue frying until they are also softening (chestnut mushrooms hold their texture well and don't go all that soft).

I did the above earlier and let it cool.

As the steak is frying, turn the heat back up.  While the cooked steak is resting, add the cheese plus a splash of milk and stir while it all melts and goos into a sauce.  Add a bit more milk if it's too thick, taste and season to own taste.

Place the steak on your plate and spoon over the sauce.

It was a very nice dinner indeed.


Apologies for the (lack of) quality of the photos.

SW:  half a healthy extra A or 3 syns (for the whole meal)
