One tip: don’t plan anything to strenuous after eating this – it’s comfort food at its finest and the only thing that should follow Welsh Rarebit with Ballymaloe Steak Sauce is a nap! For those who’d prefer not to add beer, a commensurate amount of milk works just as well.

Method
- Pre-heat your grill. In a small saucepan on a medium heat, melt the butter, then add in the flour.
- Stir to combine and continue stirring as you cook this mixture for 2 minutes. Make sure it does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan!
- Gradually pour in the beer between each addition and use a whisk to combine. Whisk vigorously to prevent lumps. Once a smooth mixture has formed, add in your grated Cheddar and stir until melted & combined.
- Remove from the heat, then stir in the mustard, Ballymaloe Steak Sauce and a generous pinch of freshly-cracked black pepper.
- Toast your bread and butter it well.
- Pile on the delicious cheesy mixture and spread to the edges. Pop-under your preheated grill and cook until browned and bubbling. Serve immediately with more Ballymaloe Steak Sauce for dipping.
