Unsaved Cracked Pepper Béarnaise Sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 Medium shallot(s), minced
  • 1/2 cup H-E-B White Wine Vinegar, or lemon juice can be substituted
  • 3 Large h-E-B Large Grade AA Eggs, yolks only
  • 1 tsp H-E-B Black Pepper Grinder, plus more as needed to taste
  • 8 oz Unsalted butter, 2 sticks, melted, plus more as needed to taste
  • 1 tbsp Patty's Herbs Tarragon, lightly packed leaves only
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher salt, as needed to taste

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Once liquid is reduced, remove from heat and allow to sit while prepping the other ingredients.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
