Sauce Ingredients

Method

Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, dry white wine, and finely chopped shallots. Bring to a simmer and reduce until the liquid is about 1 tablespoon. Strain the mixture to remove the shallots and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until it's completely melted and clarified. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and the prepared reduction until well combined.

  4. 4

    Heat the Mixture

    Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) and continue whisking until the mixture thickens and becomes pale in color.

  5. 5

    Incorporate the Butter

    Gradually whisk in the melted butter, making sure to incorporate it slowly to create a smooth emulsion.

  6. 6

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in the chopped tarragon, grated black truffle, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the black truffle bearnaise sauce warm over your favorite steak or vegetable dish.
