SUNNY'S T-BONE STEAK WITH EASY BEARNAISE SAUCE
Steps:
- For the T-bone steaks: Heat a large cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Generously sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Add the oil to the griddle. Add the steaks and cook until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the heat, then tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- For the easy bearnaise sauce: Add the yolks and lemon juice to a blender. Turn on the blender and slowly stream in the melted butter. Once all the butter is incorporated, season with salt and pepper. Remove the sauce to a bowl over a bain marie (hot water) and keep warm. Add the chives, red onion and thyme and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add to a serving bowl.
- Serve the bearnaise sauce over the steaks.
SUPER STEAK WITH CHEAT'S BEARNAISE
The ideal solo supper - quick, easy, succulent and with a clever simple sauce

Categories Dinner, Main course
Time 30m
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small nonstick frying pan that has a lid. Tip the potatoes into the pan, cover and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally so the potatoes get tossed around. Remove the lid and fry the potatoes uncovered for another 4-5 minutes, until crisp and golden.
- Meanwhile, season the steak. About 5 minutes before the potatoes are ready, heat the remaining oil in a small heavy-based frying pan and fry the steak for 11⁄2-2 minutes on each side, depending how you like it done.
- Take the steak out of the pan and put it on a warmed plate. Turn down the heat, spoon in the vinegar (it will evaporate immediately), then quickly stir in the crème fraîche and mustard and heat just until they melt and make a sauce. Sprinkle in most of the tarragon, stir and taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the steak and scatter with the remaining tarragon. Serve with the crisp potatoes and a green salad, pour yourself a glass of red wine - and tuck in.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season steak on both sides with salt and pepper and refrigerate. Combine wine, vinegar and shallot in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is reduced to two tablespoons, 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add oil and reserved tablespoon of butter. When butter is melted, add steak and sear for one minute. Reduce heat and continue to cook until the first side is golden brown and beginning to crisp, about three minutes longer. Turn the steak with tongs and sear the other side until well-browned, two or three minutes.
- Place pan in oven and finish cooking, turning once, 6-8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. To finish sauce, put it through a fine strainer, pressing on shallots. Whisk the five tablespoons of cold butter a few pieces at a time into warm reduction until you have a creamy sauce. Stir in tarragon to taste and season with salt and pepper. Slice steak into half-inch thick slices across grain, spoon sauce on top and serve.
STEAK FRITES WITH BéARNAISE-ISH
Steps:
- Set the steak out at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack or paper towel and set aside.
- Place the potatoes into a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Cover the potatoes with about 1 centimeter (1/2 inch) of canola oil, place a lid on the pot and bring to a boil over high heat; this should take about 5 minutes. When boiling, remove the lid and cook, without stirring, for 10 minutes.
- Carefully stir the fries, gently scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any that are stuck and cook for another 10 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Remove the fries from the oil and transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Season immediately with salt and transfer to the oven to keep warm.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. Rub with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add to the pan and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Add the butter into the pan along with one clove of unpeeled garlic and 2 sprigs of tarragon. Carefully tilt the pan slightly and spoon the butter over the steak for 1 to 2 minutes for medium, or until the steak is cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel and mince the remaining garlic, finely chop the remaining 2 sprigs of tarragon and add to a bowl along with the mayonnaise and lemon juice, to taste.
- To serve, cut the steak into 1-centimeter (1/2-inch) thick slices and transfer to two plates along with the fries, a scattering of chives and a dollop of béarnaise-ish sauce. Season with a bit more salt and pepper.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a pan and add about 3 /4 of the shallots. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring occasionally, until soft and starting to caramelise in places. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the beef, thyme, 1 tsp Dijon and the cooled shallots. Season with black pepper but not salt at this stage (this can cause the meat to dry out). Shape into four patties and dust with flour. Put on a plate, cover with cling film and chill for at least 30 mins (or up to 2 hrs).
- Meanwhile, prepare the frites. Slice the potatoes into skinny chips, tipping into a large bowl of cold water as you go. Drain, then transfer to a large pan and cover with fresh water, seasoning with salt. Bring to a fast simmer, boil for 1 min, then drain well. Tip the chips onto a clean tea towel or some kitchen paper, spread in a single layer so they dry and cool quickly. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Tip the chips into a bowl with the vegetable oil and 1 tsp salt. Toss to coat, then spread out over two large baking trays. Cook for 45 mins or until crisp and golden.
- When the chips are about 15 mins from being cooked, heat a large frying pan with a drizzle of oil. Season the patties with salt on both sides and cook for 3-4 mins each side, or until they have a dark brown crust but are still slightly pink inside (or cook them for a little longer if you'd prefer them well done). Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside to keep warm while you make the sauce.
- Return the pan to the heat and tip in the remaining shallots. Fry for 1-2 mins to soften, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the crème fraîche, remaining Dijon, the egg yolk and tarragon, as well as any resting juices from the beef patties. Season well. Serve the steak with the pommes frites and a green salad, with the Béarnaise sauce on the side.

BéARNAISE SAUCE
Béarnaise sauce is a piquant child of hollandaise, one of the so-called mother sauces of French cuisine. It is simply an emulsification - egg yolks and butter cut through with vinegar flavored with tarragon and shallots, with a bite of black pepper. Think of it as a loose mayonnaise, requiring only plenty of whisking and a careful hand with the heat to master. You don't need the clarified butter many recipes call for - a good unsalted butter, melted, works just fine. Apply the sauce to steaks or burgers, asparagus or salmon. The sauce's richness improves virtually everything it touches.

Steps:
- Put the vinegar, shallots, black pepper and 1 tablespoon of tarragon leaves into a small saucepan, and set over a medium flame. Bring just to a boil, and then reduce heat to a simmer until there are only a few tablespoons of liquid left, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Fill a small saucepan with an inch or two of water, and set over medium-high heat to boil.
- Put the cooled shallot-and-tarragon mixture into a metal mixing bowl along with a tablespoon of water and the egg yolks, then whisk to combine.
- Turn the heat under the saucepan of water down to its lowest setting, and put the bowl on top of the pan, making sure that it does not touch the water directly. Continue to whisk the yolks until they thicken, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. You should just about double the volume of the yolks.
- Slowly beat in the butter, a tablespoon or two at a time, whisking slowly to combine and emulsify. Remove the bowl from the pan occasionally, so as not to overcook the eggs, and taste the sauce. Season with salt. If the flavor is not sharp enough, add a splash of lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of hot water. Add the remaining teaspoon of tarragon leaves, and serve.

STEAK WITH BEARNAISE SAUCE
We had this for dinner this past weekend and I cannot begin to describe how scrumptious it was. This is a recipe from Ina Garten / The Barefoot Contessa. I have never liked Bearnaise Sauce -- but I made this as a special treat for my husband. We BOTH absolutely loved this steak AND the sauce, and it will be a special dinner for us from now on. We served this with Rosemary Roasted Potatoes and Pesto Pea Salad. Yum! ** Please note: This has raw egg yolks in the Bearnaise Sauce **

Tips:
- Tenderizing the Steak: Before cooking, tenderize the steak by pounding it with a meat mallet or using a fork to poke holes in it. This helps break down the muscle fibers and makes the steak more tender.
- Choosing the Right Cut of Steak: Select a steak that is at least 1 inch thick for best results. Some popular cuts for steak Bernaise include ribeye, strip steak, and tenderloin.
- Cooking the Steak: Cook the steak over medium-high heat until it reaches your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. For a medium steak, cook for about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Making the Bernaise Sauce: Clarify the butter by melting it in a saucepan over low heat and then carefully skimming off the milk solids that rise to the top. This will give the sauce a smooth, creamy texture.
- Adding Flavor to the Sauce: Enhance the flavor of the sauce by adding fresh herbs such as tarragon, chives, and parsley. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of white wine for a brighter flavor.
- Serving the Steak: Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
Conclusion:
Steak Bernaise is a classic French dish that combines a tender, juicy steak with a rich, creamy sauce. By following the tips and instructions provided in this recipe, you can easily create this delicious meal at home. Serve the steak with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy your homemade steak Bernaise!
