Really good, different sauce for the stake! So tasty and no cream there. Nice combination of madeira and blue cheese. Added plenty black pepper.

Mercy - I made this the other night to go with some nice rib-eye steaks and it was really lovely! There was just the right amount of cheese, so that the sauce wasn't overwhelmingly "blue cheese" tasting. It didn't seem too rich either, just the right amount of flavor and richness... Hope this makes sense! Either way, my dh and I loved it!
