This is a very easy leeks side dish. When I cook this I do not make a sauce for the steak as the leeks will be saucy enough.

This makes for a quick satisfying dish and all can be ready in under an hour as the beef steak is just pan seared in a griddle pan.

Just be a bit more careful with washing the leeks as they tends to trap and hide a lot of dirt when growing. Many a times I find myself having to wash again and again as I slice them.

p/s You should have about half of bottle of white wine left to drink after.

White wine creamy cheesy leeks with pan seared beef steak

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch Leeks
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 tbsp Mince garlic
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1 cup White wine
  • 1 cup Double cream
  • Blue cheese (strong cheese)
  • Salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a pan and fry the garlic. Then add in the leeks and fry till the leeks are soft. 
  • Next add in the flour and stir well before adding in the white wine and double cream.

Notes

TIP – Use any cheese you like but I prefer blue to go with steak (although I do not at blue cheese) The hubby, the boy and girl do. 
TIP – Add more or less wine, cream for more sauce. It is entirely your choice. 
TIP – Season AFTER you add the cheese and taste.

This creamy leeks vegetable side dish is a good accompaniment to any dishes and for cheese lovers you can of course add in more cheese. It goes very well with simple pan seared salmon, gammon ham, anything really.

I know I moan about the British and their forever boiled vegetables but this is one of them boiled vegetables that is nice to eat. The purist will tell you that there is nothing more deeply comforting than a dish of boiled vegetables covered in a savoury white sauce. My family is very partial to this creamy leeks dish.

Please feel free to add crispy bacon on top.
