Steak and béarnaise today

[Guest guest]

We are having grilled tenderloin steaks with Bearnaise sauce today. I make

hollandaise in the VitaMix, then add the strained wine vinegar shallots

peppercorns, that reduced mixture to the hollandaise in the VitaMix. Give it a

twirl to mix. When I take the sauce out of the Vitamix I add some chopped fresh

tarragon not only for flavor but for the pretty green color against the bright

yellow of the sauce.

Béarnaise recipe

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter

4 shallots, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves

4 white peppercorns, crushed

1/4 cup white wine vinegar

1/3 cup dry white wine

4 large egg yolks

1/4 teaspoon salt

Pinch of cayenne

Boil shallots, tarragon, and peppercorns in vinegar and wine in a nonreactive

medium-size saucepan over medium heat until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Strain

into the hollandaise. When you take it out of the VitaMix mix in a little bit of

finely chopped tarragon so you see the sparkly green against the yellow of the

sauce.
