Bearnaise Sauce

Classic Restaurant Sauce Recipe


Bearnaise Sauce is a variation of Hollandaise Sauce. The major difference is that a tarragon - wine vinegar reduction is part of the Bearnaise.











It is a traditional sauce for steak but Bearnaise is a wonderful sauce for almost all meats, vegetables, some seafood, and potatoes.

Restaurant customers (guests) absolutely love this sauce with grilled wild King salmon and asparagus.

Bernaise sauce may not be the best choice for most egg dishes. I prefer using Hollandaise Sauce with egg dishes.

And, if you are into a low carbohydrate diet, you're going to be fine using this sauce recipe.




To make this sauce successfully, you must carefully control the heat. Too high heat will cause the egg yolk to curdle. If the heat is too low, the sauce will probably not thicken properly. And if you add the butter too quickly while cooking, the mixture may separate and ruin your sauce.

  • Add the lemon juice, salt, cayenne (and garlic powder if desired) and beat over boiling water until eggs are cooked and the mixture is semi-thick
  • Very gradually add hot clarified butter one ladle at a time to the egg mixture, again whipping constantly until the sauce has the thickness you desire
  • Fold the tarragon mixture into the egg mixture

    That's it! You're done!
