CLASSIC CHEESE SAUCE

Makes 2 cups Prep 5 min

Cook 12 min

50g butter

2 tbsp (30ml) flour

2 cups (500ml) milk

1 cup (250ml) strong grated

Cheddar

Heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted and foaming. Add the flour and cook, whisking for a minute until the mixture forms a roux (or paste).

Remove from the heat and slowly start adding the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Return the pan to the stove on a medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the sauce boils and thickens.

Stir in the cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve with a griddled steak and chips.
