Step-by-Step Instructions for Béarnaise Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine dry white wine, white wine vinegar, sliced shallot, and tarragon. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the mixture has reduced, take it off the heat and strain it using a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Allow the strained liquid to cool for about 5 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the unsalted butter and cover it. Microwave on high for about 1 minute or until very hot.
- Add the cooled infused vinegar, egg yolks, lemon juice, and kosher salt to a high-powered blender. Blend the mixture on high for about 5 seconds until well combined.
- With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy—about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the béarnaise sauce to a serving bowl, and gently stir in the additional chopped tarragon. Serve warm.

Notes
Ensure the butter is hot for a stable emulsion. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
