Béarnaise
Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
3 egg yokes
1 1/2 sticks (6 ozs.) clarified
butter
1 shallot, chopped
1 tablespoon tarragon, chopped
1 tablespoon freshly ground black peppercorns, crushed
(Tellicherry)
2 fl. oz. white wine vinegar
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon tarragon, chopped for garnish
Water as needed
Place vinegar, black peppercorns, tarragon and shallots in a small
sauce pan and boil reducing down to about 2 tablespoons. Remove
from heat and strain mixture through a sieve into a metal bowl that
will fit your double boiler and allow to cool down a couple
minutes. Add egg yokes to the vinegar mixture and using a double
boiler, whisk the egg mixture until fluffy and continue whisking
until the mixture thickens. Once mixture has thickened, remove from
the double boiler and add a small amount of the clarified butter and
whisk until thoroughly incorporated and continue adding the
clarified butter and whish until all the clarified butter is
incorporated. If the sauce is too thick add a few drops of water to
thin it as needed while adding and whisking in the clarified
butter. When all the clarified butter is incorporated into the egg
mixture, add one tablespoon of tarragon and season with salt and
cayenne pepper to taste. Place in a serving dish and serve while
still hot. This sauce is great with chicken and steak.
Below Béarnaise cooked on 03-28-09 and served over a
Chateaubriand
steak. "Beautimous" tasting stuff.
Personally, I cannot taste any difference between the Béarnaise
sauce made above versus the
Knorr
brand dry packaged mix of which you add whole milk and butter and it
certainly is a lot easier to make when you need some in a hurry!
