Cooking With
Chef Ramos/13
Béarnaise Sauce ... makes 1 3/4 cup INGREDIENTS ½ cup dry white wine ¼ cup white wine vinegar 4 sprigs tarragon, leaves finely minced, stems reserved separately 1 small shallot, roughly chopped ½ tsp. whole black peppercorns 2 egg yolks Kosher salt 1½ sticks (12 tbsp.) unsalted butter
DIRECTIONS In a small saucepan over medium heat combine wine, vinegar, herb stems, shallots & black peppercorns. Bring to a simmer & lower heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook until reduced to about 1½ tablespoons of liquid remain. Carefully strain liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a small bowl, pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Combine wine reduction, egg yolk & a pinch of salt in the bottom of a cup that barely fits the head of an immersion blender. Melt butter in a small saucepan over high heat, swirling constantly, until foaming subsides. Place head of immersion blender into the bottom of the cup with the wine reduction and turn it on. With the blender constantly running, slowly pour hot butter into cup. It should emulsify with the egg yolk & wine reduction. Continue pouring until all butter is added. Season to taste with salt. Whisk in chopped tarragon.
