Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes, or until golden-brown all over and cooked all the way through.
For the garlic cream cabbage, melt the butter in a frying pan, add the onion and fry until softened. Add the cabbage, salt and freshly ground black pepper and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for one minute. Add the cream and thyme and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
For the blue cheese sauce, place the Stilton, cream and freshly ground black pepper into a small saucepan and heat gently, stirring, until melted and smooth.
To serve, pile the cabbage onto a serving plate. Place the steak slices on top and the potato wedges on the side. Pour over the blue cheese sauce.
