Bearnaise Sauce

Bearnaise Sauce

D. Rattray
This sweet onion bearnaise sauce is particularly delicious with grilled or broiled steak or chicken, or try it with pork tenderloin medallions or grilled lamb.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoon minced sweet onion
  • 1 tablespoon tarragon vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf tarragon
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 to 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
  • dash of lemon juice
  • dash ground cayenne or chipotle chili pepper

Preparation:

Combine minced onion, vinegar and tarragon in small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, stirring constantly, until liquid has evaporated. Add the butter and mushrooms. Cook until lightly browned; pour in 1/3 cup cream. Bring to a boil. Stir a small amount of the hot mixture into the egg yolks, whisking rapidly to incorporate. Return the mixture to saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Stir in remaining cream for a creamier sauce. Add dash of lemon juice and ground cayenne or chipotle pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
