Ruth’s Chris Steak House Bleu Cheese Dressing Ingredients

• Creamy mayonnaise: For rich, smooth, classic dressing base
• Tangy sour cream: To balance bold blue cheese flavor
• Crumbled blue cheese: For sharp, salty, signature taste
• Buttermilk: To thin dressing and add subtle tang
• Fresh garlic: To deepen flavor without overpowering taste
• Worcestershire sauce: For savory depth and umami punch
• Fresh lemon juice: To brighten and balance richness
• Simple black pepper: For mild heat and seasoning boost
• Salt: To enhance flavors and balance creamy texture

How To Make Ruth’s Chris Steak House Bleu Cheese Dressing

Step One: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, white wine vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Stir in the finely minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in 3 ounces of the crumbled blue cheese.

Step Two: Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This allows the flavors to fully meld and the dressing to thicken. If the dressing is too thick after chilling, stir in a tiny bit more buttermilk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.

Step Three: Just before serving, gently stir in the remaining 1 ounce of crumbled blue cheese for large, visible chunks.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House Bleu Cheese Dressing Recipe Tips

• Use good quality blue cheese for the best flavor: Cheaper varieties tend to be bland or overly salty.
• Let the dressing sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the flavors blend and mellow.
• Add buttermilk a tablespoon at a time to control how thick or pourable the dressing turns out.
• Mash some of the blue cheese into the dressing while leaving a few chunks for better texture.
• Taste before serving and adjust salt carefully since blue cheese is already salty.
• Store chilled in an airtight container and stir well before serving.

Storing Instructions

Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before using, as the dressing may separate slightly while chilling. Do not freeze, as the texture will become grainy once thawed.

Ruth’s Chris Steak House Bleu Cheese Dressing Recipe Faqs

What kind of blue cheese works best? For the rich, robust flavor characteristic of Ruth’s Chris, use a high-quality, pungent cheese like Danish Blue, Roquefort, or a creamy Gorgonzola. Avoid pre-crumbled cheese, as a fresh block provides better texture.

How long does the dressing need to chill? You should chill the dressing for a minimum of 2 hours, but ideally overnight. This allows the fresh flavors (especially the garlic and vinegar) to fully meld and helps the dressing achieve its signature thick, steakhouse consistency.

Why is my dressing not thick enough? The dressing thickens as it chills due to the fat content. If it remains too thin, ensure you used full-fat mayonnaise and sour cream. You can also mix in a small amount of extra sour cream or a pinch of cornstarch whisked into warm buttermilk.

Can I make this dairy-free? Achieving the exact flavor is difficult, but you can substitute the mayonnaise with a vegan mayo and use a high-quality vegan sour cream or cream cheese alternative, along with a dairy-free “blue cheese” crumble.

How long will the dressing keep? Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this dressing will typically last for 5 to 7 days. Always check the expiration dates of your fresh dairy ingredients (buttermilk, sour cream).
