Boil until liqued is reduced to about 1/4 cup, stirring frequently (about 5 mins.) Reduce heat to low. Gradually add blue cheese and stir until mostly melted and smooth. Add 1/4 cup whipping cream and simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 2 minutes. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (can be prepared 1 day ahead, cover and refrigerate.) When you're ready to serve, bring sauce to a simmer over low heat, stirring constantly and thinning with more cream if too thick. Stir in juices from the steaks if available and spoon sauce over steaks and serve.
