Yesterday my son H cooked a bearnaise sauce to go with his steak and served it with oven baked potato chips and rockets salad with parmesan shavings.......Bearnaise sauce is actually a sauce of butter and egg yolks that is flavoured with shallots...tarragon....chervil....cooked in white wine vinegar......it goes well with all grilled meat.....here r some pics i took while he cooks....
cooking the chopped shallot..(1 no )and chopped tarragon in 2 tabs of white wine vinegar and 2 tabs of white wine....reduce to 1/3 of its liquid........strained and leave aside to cool.....
add egg yolks....(3 nos)... to cooled vinegar mixture and whisk well with a balloon whisk......
melted and cooled butter.................... 125 gms
continue whisking the egg yolk mixture over a pan of simmering water while gradually pouring in the melted butter til the sauce thickens and smooth......
the cooked bearnaise sauce looks like this...............
seasoning the steaks with sea salt and black pepper before grilling it in a hot pan til medium rare or well done.......see the two portions ? one is for his lucky brother.........i do not really like steaks......i only eat the chips and salads.....
son preparing the potatoes.....by dipping it in peanut oil ....and placing it in baking pan.....sprinkle it with salt and pepper before going into a hot oven to bake til cook..............
the delicious homecook steak with bearnaise sauce ready to be served...............
