Steps:

• Toss the cheese with the flour or starch and set aside.
• In a large sauce pan over medium-low heat melt the butter and saute the minced garlic just until it is fragrant and begins to soften.
• Move the pan away from the heat temporarily and slowly add the beer, stirring constantly. Return to the stove ring, and simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce Add the heavy cream and oregano and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and slowly begin to incorporate the prepared cheese, about a handful at a time, stirring as you go. Once all the cheese has melted into the sauce you can place it back over a stove ring on low heat for a final thermal boost, about 1 minute. Stir again and enjoy while warm.

Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking, whisking frequently, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes.
