Classic Béarnaise Sauce

A classic French sauce known for its rich, velvety texture and refined flavor, Béarnaise is built from a delicate emulsion of egg yolks and butter, infused with shallots, white wine, vinegar, and fresh tarragon. The result is a smooth, aromatic sauce with a subtle tang and herbaceous depth that perfectly complements steak and other grilled meats—adding an elegant, restaurant-quality finish to any dish.
