Blender Béarnaise Sauce | Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for a bearnaise sauce. Use on vegetables, chicken, salmon or steak.
A good Béarnaise sauce might come be a bit more handy than you originally thought. It is a fanciful addition to both vegetables, fish and meat. Serve it drizzled over roasted asparagus, steamed baby broccoli or as a dipping sauce for artichoke petals. It also makes a luscious and indulgent sauce for any type of meat, but is especially lovely over poached eggs or alongside sizzling steaks, hot off the grill.
1 c Hot + Melted Unsalted Butter
3 Egg Yolks, room temperature*
1 tbsp Hot Water
Juice of Half a Lemon
1 tsp Minced Fresh Tarragon
¼ tsp Kosher Salt
Pinch of Cayenne Pepper
Have ready melted butter and set aside. Add egg yolks and hot water to a blender and process until thickened, about 30 seconds. Remove the funnel (aka the little plastic part that sits in lid of blender) and drizzle in hot butter with the motor still running. Cover with towel and continue to process until pale white and thickened once more. Add tarragon, salt and cayenne, pulse and serve.
Makes about 1 cup.
