Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, white wine, shallots, and tarragon sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Allow it to reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
-
In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks until slightly thickened. Slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking continuously to create an emulsion.
-
Strain the vinegar mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the egg yolk mixture, discarding solids and tarragon sprigs. Whisk to combine.
-
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Whisk gently and consistently until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Remove from heat. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste.
-
Serve immediately warm over steak, vegetables, or eggs.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over a double boiler or microwave, stirring occasionally.
