Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
Instructions
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat, and add the butter. Allow it to melt completely.
Whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook the roux for about 1–2 minutes until it begins to turn lightly golden, ensuring there is no raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, to prevent lumps from forming. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it has fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Add the Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and whisk to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Stir in the heavy cream to give the sauce a silky, rich texture.
Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently, to ensure the sauce is smooth and heated through.
Remove the sauce from the heat, and serve immediately over your favorite steak. Garnish with fresh herbs or an additional sprinkle of cheese if desired.
