I found this recipe online a few years ago and found it interesting how easy a bearnaise sauce could be to make. I was always intimidated to attempt it in the past, but now that it only takes ten minutes it’s something I plan to make more often. Serve this béarnaise over asparagus or broccoli for an appetizing vegetable side with your steak or roast beef dinner.
Béarnaise Sauce
Ingredients:
2 tbsp champagne vinegar (substitute for rice wine vinegar if you don’t have it)
2 tbsp dry white wine
1 small shallot, minced
2 sprigs tarragon leaves, minced
3/4 tsp kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
2 large egg yolks
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Combine vinegar, wine, shallot, half the tarragon, 1/4 tsp salt, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In a blender, combine eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, and cooled shallot-wine mixture and blend for 30 seconds.
With the blender on, add the melted butter in a slow stream. It should take you about 30 seconds to add all the butter.
Add the other half of the tarragon leaves and blend for another few seconds.

This sounds good and really easy!
