I know that blueberry sauce with steak seems a bit unconventional but get ready to have your socks blown off by this heavenly delight! I specifically made this sauce to pair with a Beaujolais-Villages wine that I was working with for a course assignment. My brave "tasting panel" (family and friends) were apprehensive about "blueberry sauce with steak??" but were won over immediately by this delicious little wonder. I sprinkled a few fireweed blossoms and violas (both are edible flowers) from my backyard to bring out the subtle floral notes in the wine. Don't be afraid to be adventurous!!

How To Make blueberry sauce for steak

  • Step 1
    Add berries, lemon juice, butter, and honey to a small saucepan. Over low heat, simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Add salt and pepper. Use a potato masher to smooth out the sauce a bit, but remember that you do want a fair bit of texture to the sauce.
  • Step 3
    Simmer on low for another 5 minutes and remove from heat. Sauce can be made in advance and reheated. Serve over your favorite steak.
