Béarnaise Sauce for Steak

Serves: 4
Duration: 10 mins
Level: Easy

Béarnaise sauce for steak is an absolute classic. Rich, smooth and flavoured with tarragon, it is well worth the effort for the ultimate steak Béarnaise.

INGREDIENTS

1 shallot, finely chopped
2 sprigs fresh tarragon
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
150g unsalted butter, melted
2 egg yolks

METHOD

Simmer the shallot and 1 sprig of tarragon in the vinegar until reduced by half.
Strain into a bowl over a pan of boiling water, whisking in the egg yolks, then the melted butter until you have a smooth béarnaise.
Turn off the heat, chop the rest of the tarragon leaves and stir into the sauce
Chef's Tip: If you find your béarnaise sauce has come together a little before time, don’t keep it on the heat in case it splits. It’s better to let it cool naturally and gently reheat in its bowl over steaming water.
