Bearnaise Sauce Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, dry white wine, shallots, and half of the tarragon. Bring to a boil over medium heat and reduce until the liquid is about 2 tablespoons. Strain into a bowl and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In another saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Egg Yolks

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks and the reduction until the mixture is pale and thick. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and continue whisking until the mixture thickens further.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Butter

    Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the egg mixture while continuously whisking until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.

  5. 5

    Season the Sauce

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat and serve immediately as a sauce for your favorite grilled meats or vegetables.
