I do an onion sauce. To a basic white sauce, add 1 large onion, diced and sauteed in butter till soft. Season well with freshly ground pepper. You can add more onion if you like to give it a really heavy sonsitency and great onion taste.

Oh, yum, I've got some horseradish growing in the garden, but haven't made anything with it yet, never thought about it going with corned beef. Big onion fans in this house, so wil have to give that a try too! Thanks very much.

Blue Cheese Sauce (for steak, broccoli etc)
150g blue cheese (Blue Castello is good here) 150ml cream 1/4 c worcestershire sauce 125g cream cheese s & p
Heat all gently until bubbling.
Delicious! This does make quite a lot so I usually only make 1/2 the batch and that is plenty for the 5 of us for dinner.
