BéARNAISE SAUCE



Béarnaise Sauce image

Béarnaise sauce is a piquant child of hollandaise, one of the so-called mother sauces of French cuisine. It is simply an emulsification - egg yolks and butter cut through with vinegar flavored with tarragon and shallots, with a bite of black pepper. Think of it as a loose mayonnaise, requiring only plenty of whisking and a careful hand with the heat to master. You don't need the clarified butter many recipes call for - a good unsalted butter, melted, works just fine. Apply the sauce to steaks or burgers, asparagus or salmon. The sauce's richness improves virtually everything it touches.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
1 small shallot, peeled and minced
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon chopped tarragon leaves
2 egg yolks
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt, to taste
Splash of lemon juice, optional

Steps:

  • Put the vinegar, shallots, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of tarragon leaves into a small saucepan, and set over a medium flame. Bring just to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer until there are only a few tablespoons of liquid left, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
  • Fill a small saucepan with an inch or two of water, and set over medium-high heat to boil.
  • Put the cooled shallot-and-tarragon mixture into a metal mixing bowl along with a tablespoon of water and the egg yolks, then whisk to combine.
  • Turn the heat under the saucepan of water down to its lowest setting, and put the bowl on top of the pan, making sure that it does not touch the water directly. Continue to whisk the yolks until they thicken, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You should just about double the volume of the yolks.
  • Slowly beat in the butter, a tablespoon or two at a time, whisking slowly to combine and emulsify. Remove the bowl from the pan occasionally, so as not to overcook the eggs, and taste the sauce. Season with salt. If the flavor is not sharp enough, add a splash of lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of hot water. Add the remaining teaspoon of tarragon leaves, and serve.

STEAK HACHé WITH POMMES FRITES & CHEAT'S BéARNAISE SAUCE



Steak haché with pommes frites & cheat's Béarnaise sauce image

A classic French recipe of bun-less burger & chips, that can be found in every brasserie and bistro. Kids will love it and it's easy to create together at home

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 shallots , very finely chopped
600g freshly ground beef (ask the butcher for something with roughly 15% fat - we used chuck)
8 thyme sprigs , leaves picked and chopped
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp plain flour
200ml crème fraîche
1 egg yolk
6 tarragon sprigs, leaves picked and finely chopped
dressed green salad , to serve
4 large baking potatoes (such as Maris Piper or Russet), peeled
2 tbsp vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pan and add about 3 /4 of the shallots. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until soft and starting to caramelise in places. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the beef, thyme, 1 tsp Dijon and the cooled shallots. Season with black pepper but not salt at this stage (this can cause the meat to dry out). Shape into four patties and dust with flour. Put on a plate, cover with cling film and chill for at least 30 mins (or up to 2 hrs).
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frites. Slice the potatoes into skinny chips, tipping into a large bowl of cold water as you go. Drain, then transfer to a large pan and cover with fresh water, seasoning with salt. Bring to a fast simmer, boil for 1 min, then drain well. Tip the chips onto a clean tea towel or some kitchen paper, spread in a single layer so they dry and cool quickly. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
  • Tip the chips into a bowl with the vegetable oil and 1 tsp salt. Toss to coat, then spread out over two large baking trays. Cook for 45 mins or until crisp and golden.
  • When the chips are about 15 mins from being cooked, heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of oil. Season the patties with salt on both sides and cook for 3-4 mins each side, or until they have a dark brown crust but are still slightly pink inside (or cook them for a little longer if you'd prefer them well done). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside to keep warm while you make the sauce.
  • Return the pan to the heat and tip in the remaining shallots. Fry for 1-2 mins to soften, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche, remaining Dijon, the egg yolk and tarragon, as well as any resting juices from the beef patties. Season well. Serve the steak with the pommes frites and a green salad, with the Béarnaise sauce on the side.

CHEF JOHN'S BEARNAISE SAUCE



Chef John's Bearnaise Sauce image

I adore a good hollandaise and couldn't survive without mayonnaise, but if I had to pick an all-time favorite 'aise, it might just be béarnaise. This tarragon-spiked, shallot-infused hollandaise is absolutely perfect with any and all steaks or roasts, especially lean ones.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup fresh tarragon leaves, coarsely chopped
½ cup thinly sliced shallots
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
½ cup white wine vinegar
½ cup white wine
⅓ cup water
¼ cup chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon drained capers
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons tarragon-vinegar reduction
8 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 tablespoon caper-tarragon compound butter
salt and cayenne pepper to taste
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place 1 cup tarragon, shallots, and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pour in white wine vinegar, white wine, and water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and reduce liquid to about 3 tablespoons, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain into a bowl through a fine mesh strainer, pressing vegetable/herb mixture to extract as much liquid as possible.
  • Place 1/4 cup chopped tarragon and capers in a mortar. Mash with a pestle about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon cold butter. Mash and pound with pestle until ingredients are thoroughly combined in a solid mass. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap; wrap and chill.
  • Place egg yolks in a stainless steel (flameproof) mixing bowl; add 3 tablespoons tarragon/shallot reduction; whisk together. Add cold butter cubes. Place bowl over low to medium heat whisking constantly until sauce thickens, as you hold the bowl with a kitchen towel. After butter melts continue whisking; mixture will turn a lighter yellow color after 8 to 10 minutes. When mixture is nice and thick, reduce heat to low and stir in compound butter broken into chunks. Continue whisking. Remove from heat. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.

1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped shallot

Steps:

  • Cook lobster in large pot of boiling salted water 13 minutes. Using tongs, transfer lobster to rimmed baking sheet. Cool slightly. Twist off claws; reserve for another use. Twist off tail.

Increase heat to medium. Add remaining 1/2 cup butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until melted between additions. Add paprika; stir to blend. Strain butter into medium bowl, pressing on solids in strainer to release all butter. Discard solids in strainer. Let lobster butter cool to room temperature. (Lobster meat and butter can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover butter and chill. Return lobster butter to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Combine vinegar, chopped shallot, and capers in medium saucepan. Boil over high heat until almost all liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Whisk yolks, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water in medium bowl. Place bowl over saucepan of barely simmering water. Whisk constantly until mixture is thick, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat. Whisk in lobster butter in 6 additions. Whisk in shallot mixture and tarragon. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in reserved lobster meat. Season with salt and pepper. Keep lobster bèarnaise sauce over warm water.
  • Preheat broiler. Rub steaks with coarse kosher salt and pepper. Broil until cooked to desired doneness, about 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (5 minutes per side if boneless). Serve with lobster bèarnaise sauce.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs. boneless sirloin steak, 1-inch thick
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine such as Chardonnay
2 Tbs. white wine vinegar
1 small shallot, minced
1 Tbs. olive oil
6 Tbs. unsalted butter (1 Tbs. set aside and the remaining 5 Tbs. cut into small pieces and chilled)
2 Tbs. finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season steak on both sides with salt and pepper and refrigerate. Combine wine, vinegar and shallot in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is reduced to two tablespoons, 15-20 minutes.

Reduce heat and continue to cook until the first side is golden brown and beginning to crisp, about three minutes longer. Turn the steak with tongs and sear the other side until well-browned, two or three minutes.
  • Place pan in oven and finish cooking, turning once, 6-8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. To finish sauce, put it through a fine strainer, pressing on shallots. Whisk the five tablespoons of cold butter a few pieces at a time into warm reduction until you have a creamy sauce. Stir in tarragon to taste and season with salt and pepper. Slice steak into half-inch thick slices across grain, spoon sauce on top and serve.

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Condiment

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 egg yolks
pinch cayenne
1 tsp tarragon vinegar
125g butter
small pack fresh tarragon

  • Put the egg yolks in a mini food processor and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne, then add the vinegar.
  • Finely chop the tarragon stalks and leaves separately. Melt the butter in a pan then add the chopped tarragon stalks and bring it to a simmer - the butter needs to be hot so that it will cook the egg yolks slightly.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final flavor of your sauce. Use fresh herbs, good-quality butter, and fresh lemon juice.
  • Clarify your butter: Clarifying your butter removes the milk solids and water, leaving you with a pure butterfat that is less likely to break or curdle.
  • Reduce your shallots and vinegar mixture: Reducing the shallots and vinegar mixture concentrates the flavors and mellows the acidity of the vinegar.
  • Whisk in the egg yolks and butter slowly: Whisking in the egg yolks and butter slowly prevents the sauce from curdling.
  • Season to taste: Once the sauce is finished, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Béarnaise sauce is a classic French sauce that is perfect for steak, fish, and vegetables. It is a rich and flavorful sauce that is easy to make with just a few simple ingredients. With these tips, you can make a delicious béarnaise sauce that will impress your friends and family.
