SALT-AND-PEPPER ROAST BEEF WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE
This roast is perfect for the holidays, since it uses a brilliant "reverse-sear" method: roast the beef in a low oven first, then sear it on the oven or stovetop for a browned, deeply flavored crust. In between, you can focus on the rest of the meal. A salt-and-pepper coating amps up the savory qualities of the beef but won't overshadow the buttery béarnaise sauce.

Steps:
- Combine the pepper and salt on a rimmed baking sheet or cutting board. Rub the oil over the meat to coat it lightly, then roll it in the salt and pepper mixture to coat. Transfer to a rack in a roasting pan. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour before roasting.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 300°F. Roast the beef until an instant-read thermometer registers 110°F for rare or 115°F for medium rare, about 1-1/2 hours. Remove the roast from the oven. Let sit, tented loosely with foil, for up to 2 hours.
- Up to 2 hours before serving, bring the vinegar, wine, shallot, and tarragon sprig to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Turn the heat down and simmer until the liquid is reduced to 2 Tbs., about 6 minutes. Strain the liquid into a small bowl and discard the solids. If you have less than 2 Tbs. of the vinegar reduction, add enough water to equal 2 Tbs.
- Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove over low heat. Put the yolks and vinegar reduction in a blender and blend until the yolks begin to froth. With the motor running, slowly pour in the butter and blend until thickened to the consistency of heavy cream, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped tarragon and season to taste with salt and pepper. If necessary, put the blender jar in a bowl of hot water to keep the sauce warm.
- To sear in the oven: Heat the oven to 475°F. Roast until 125°F for rare or 130°F for medium rare, about 10 minutes.
- Or, to sear on the stove: Heat 2 Tbs. oil in a heavy 12-inch skillet until shimmering hot. Add the beef, and cook, turning and pressing with tongs, until browned all over and, cooked to the desired temperature, about 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Slice and serve with the sauce.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE
Steps:
- For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
- Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
- Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
- Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.

This deliciously creamy herb sauce is so simple to make using a microwave, but if you do not have one, place your bowl over a pan of simmering water to heat it gently. Excellent German recipe for Bernaise sauce. Great on steaks, chicken, vegetables and fish.
