Cracked Pepper Béarnaise Sauce
Delicious salt block sautéed veggies from H-E-B Cooking Connection. We've paired our broccoli with a beautiful cracked pepper béarnaise sauce for the holidays. As seen on Goodtaste with Tanji!
Ingredients
- 2 medium shallots minced
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar or lemon juice can be substituted
- 3 large eggs yolks only
- 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper plus more as needed to taste
- 8 oz unsalted butter 2 sticks melted - plus more as needed to taste
- 1 Tbsp fresh tarragon lightly packed leaves only
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt as needed to taste
Instructions
- In a small stainless steel sauce pot add shallots and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Continue to reduce liquid until less then a 1/4 teaspoon of liquid remains. * If using lemon juice, be careful not to cook on too high a heat as it can burn and taste bitter.
- Once liquid is reduced, remove from heat and allow to sit while prepping the other ingredients.
- In a blender add egg yolks and cracked pepper. Add cooked shallot mixture and blend together on medium speed. Slowly add melted butter in a thin continuous stream.
- Turn blender up to highest speed and add in tarragon. Stop blending once sauce has thickened. Season to taste with salt and more cracked pepper as needed.
