- Remove the meat from the pan (cover lightly with foil to keep warm).
- Add the Roquefort to the water and stir until it dissolves.
- Add the jelly and stir until it dissolves.
- Stir in the creme fraîche (do not let it boil).
- Add more salt, pepper, Roquefort and/or current jelly, to taste.
- Return the meat to the pan to warm (it should not cook any more).
- Slice and serve, spooning the sauce over the meat.
