Béarnaise sauce with organic tarragon

Ingredients

  • 1 tl dragon
  • 3 eierdooiers
  • 150 g ongezouten (geklaarde) boter
  • 3 el witte wijnazijn
  • 3 el droge witte wijn
  • 1 sjalot fijngesnipperd
  • 1/4 citroen sap
  • zeezout
  • peper wit

Cook Time

  1. 1
    Bring the vinegar, wine, shallot and tarragon to a boil in a small saucepan. Let reduce until approximately 2 tablespoons of liquid remain. Let cool slightly.
  2. 2
    Melt the butter in another pan on low heat until completely melted. Keep warm.
  3. 3
    Whisk the egg yolks in a heat-resistant bowl. Add the cooled liquid and whisk through.
  4. 4
    Place the bowl au bain-marie above a pan with just-boiling water. Whisk continuously until the mixture becomes thick and creamy and you can see the bottom of the bowl.
  5. 5
    Remove from heat and add the melted butter dropwise while continuing to whisk. Work slowly: adding butter too quickly will cause the sauce to break.
  6. 6
    Season with lemon juice, salt and white pepper.

Tips

  • Did the sauce break? Whisk a new egg yolk in a clean bowl and add the broken sauce dropwise while whisking.
  • Serve immediately: béarnaise is best fresh and warm.
  • Combine with grilled entrecote, asparagus or grilled salmon.
