Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing Recipe
Steakhouse blue cheese dressing is a creamy, tangy dressing often served at steakhouses, typically made with a base of mayonnaise and sour cream or buttermilk. The star ingredient is blue cheese, which gives it a rich, sharp flavor. It's usually seasoned with garlic, onion, and sometimes a hint of lemon juice or Worcestershire sauce to balance the richness. This dressing is commonly served with wedge salads, as a dip for veggies, or as a topping for steaks.
Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups And Spoons
- Fork or SpoonÂ
- Storage Container or Jar with Lid
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream or buttermilk
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream (or buttermilk). Whisk until smooth.
- Gently fold in the crumbled blue cheese. If you prefer a chunkier texture, lightly mash some of the blue cheese with a fork, leaving other pieces intact.
- Add the lemon juice (or vinegar), Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- If the dressing is too thick for your liking, slowly whisk in 1-2 tablespoons of milk or buttermilk until you reach the desired consistency.
- Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or blue cheese as needed.
- For the best flavor, refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Drizzle the dressing over a wedge salad, use it as a dip, or serve it alongside a perfectly cooked steak.
