Steps:
- I promised a trio of sauces, but I just had to get this in under the wire. If you like blue cheese - as I, swooningly, do - then know that this, dribbled over sliced, sweet tomatoes along with a torn-off log of baguette is a perfect enough supper just as it is. And you can make a fabulously retro steakhouse-style starter, by cutting a head of iceberg lettuce into wedges and dribbling each crunchy wedge with this plus, perhaps, a scattering of crisp-fried bacon crumbles. And it makes a fabulous dressing to dribble over leftover rare roast beef.
- Put the crumbled cheese into a bowl, add the Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, buttermilk, milk and the vinegar and mix gently until well combined. Thin if necessary with a little iced water. Chill until needed.
- Make Ahead Note: The dressing will keep for 3 to 4 days in covered container in fridge - store in cold part of fridge rather than in the door.
BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
I tasted this tangy blue cheese dressing for the first time at a friend's house. She gave me the recipe, and now I make it every week. I always keep some in my refrigerator. This homemade recipe tastes much better than bottled blue cheese dressing and it's a snap to make. -Barbara Nowakowski, North Tonawanda, New York

BLUE CHEESE DRESSING (HELEN CORBITT ADAPTATION)
GREAT WITH WINGS! This is an adaptation of Helen Corbitt's Roquefort Dressing. Made with Blue Stilton, it is a flavorful blue cheese dressing. Not so mild as standard blue but not so overpowering as Roquefort. I always make it with the requested portion of Beau Monde, but then wish I had reduced it slightly so you may want to make it a scant 1/2 t. Also, to serve as a thick dip, you can reduce the half and half to 1/2 c.
