Notes:

  • This Easy Blender Béarnaise Sauce is quite bubbly when it is first blended. Let it sit for a few minutes, then slowly stir to remove the bubbles.
  • Using room temperature eggs reduces the chance of the sizzling hot butter cooking cold eggs when they are combined.
  • White wine vinegar can be used in place of the red wine vinegar.
  • If using dried tarragon, start with 1/2 a teaspoon and increase the amount until you reach the desired flavor.
  • The French use a combination of tarragon and chevril, but chevril is not always easy to find…especially fresh.
  • I purchase mini bottles of wine to use in recipes, so I do not have to waste an entire bottle.
  • I would assume that this sauce could be made in a regular blender, but I did not try it. I had better luck making my Blender Hollandaise with the immersion blender, so I tried this way first.

While I was researching Hollandaise Sauce, I came across a recipe for Steak Oscar….and I knew that I had to try it. But when I started looking up the recipes for Steak Oscar, they all called for Béarnaise Sauce! It can’t be that hard, right? Nope, it sure wasn’t and my Steak Oscar turned out amazing…..

Talk about the perfect special occasion meal!! The vinegar cuts the richness of the egg yolks and butter, while the tarragon adds a slight sweetness in the background that blends perfectly with the shallots. The French definitely know their sauces. 😉

  1. A regular blender can be used in place of an immersion blender.

    I did not have wine so I used all champagne vinegar instead of wine & vinegar. It tasted great.

  2. Not to be picky but Bearnaise sauce is not in fact one of the mother sauces, it’s a child of Hollandaise. That being said you immediately listed the 5 mother sauces.
