Asparagus With Bearnaise Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a small sauce pan. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 3/4 teaspoon pepper and cayenne in the jar of a blender. Blend for 15 seconds. With the blender running, slowly pour the hot butter into the blender and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is thick. (You can leave it in the blender at room temperature for up to 1 hour. If it is made in advance, add 1 tablespoon hot tap water and blend for a few seconds before serving.)
• Break off the tough ends of the asparagus and, if they're thick, peel them. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat the asparagus completely. Spread the asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for 15 to 20 minutes, until tender but still crisp.
• Pour the hollandaise sauce over the warm asparagus and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer in a shallow roasting pan baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through.
• Meanwhile, put the egg yolk, lemon juice, and cayenne in a blender. Pulse a couple times to combine.
• Put the butter in a small microwave proof bowl and heat in a microwave until just melted. With the blender running, gradually add the melted butter into the egg to make a smooth frothy sauce. If the sauce is really thick blend in a teaspoon of lukewarm water to loosen it up. Season with the salt and serve immediately or keep warm in a small heat-proof bowl set over hot (but not simmering) water until ready to serve.
• Spread the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Grind a generous amount of pepper over the top.

Steps:

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix the first 6 ingredients until blended; refrigerate until serving., In a Dutch oven, bring water to a boil. Add asparagus in batches; cook, uncovered, until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat dry. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place asparagus on the baking sheet and season with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly toss to coat evenly.
• Roast in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender-crisp, about 10 minutes for thin asparagus, or 14 minutes for large asparagus.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until softened, taking care not to burn garlic. Sprinkle flour onto butter and cook, whisking constantly until mixture is golden and thick, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Remove the leaves from the tarragon sprigs. Set stems aside. Finely chop the leaves; set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and the reserved tarragon stems.
• Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is translucent. Add the wine, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water. Increase heat to medium and cook until the liquid is mostly evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer to a small bowl, remove and discard the tarragon stems, and let cool completely.
• Once cool, add the remaining butter, the chopped tarragon leaves, 1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter) and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Roast 10 minutes (longer for fatter spears) or until asparagus is crisp-tender and just beginning to brown on the tips.
• Serve asparagus with the butter.

Steps:

• Trim the ends off the asparagus and place in a pot of boiling salted water. Bring the water to a second boil, reduce the heat and boil slowly, uncovered, for 2 to 5 minutes, until the spears bend a little but are not limp. Drain and rinse them under cold running water until cool. Spread the cooked spears in a single layer on paper towels so they will finish cooling quickly.
• Place the eggs on a spoon and lower into a small saucepan of boiling water. Boil the eggs for 3 minutes (3 1/2 if they are chilled). Rinse under cold running water until cool enough to handle. Hit each egg with a knife at ''the equator'' and pull the halves apart. With a spoon, pull out the yolks into a medium-size bowl. Set aside the whites, in their shells, to finish cooking.
• Whisk the yolks until they are thick and sticky. Whisk in the mustard, salt and vinegar. Add the oil, whisking by hand or with an electric mixer, drop by drop at first and then in a steady stream. When all the oil is incorporated, stir in the shallots, parsley and basil or tarragon and taste for salt. Sieve or finely chop the egg whites and fold them in, if desired. If sauce is too thick for dipping, thin with a little vinegar.

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, wine, tarragon and shallots in a small saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half.
• Strain through a sieve, reserve liquid and set aside.
• In a double boiler over simmering water (not boiling), whisk the egg yolks until doubled in volume.
• Slowly drizzle in the melted butter, whisking continuously, until sauce is thickened.
• Stir in vinegar/wine reduction.
• Season with salt.
• Serve immediately or cover and keep warm.

Steps:

• To make the Parmesan butter, tip the lemon juice into a small saucepan and, over a very low heat, add the butter. Melt and stir the butter into the lemon juice until you have a smooth sauce, add the Parmesan and season to taste, then set aside.
• To make the Asian dressing, using a pestle and mortar, crush the chilli with the brown sugar, then stir in the lime juice until the sugar has dissolved. Stir through the soy sauce and sesame oil, then set aside.
• For the garlic mayonnaise, mix all the ingredients together. Decant the sauces into 3 serving dishes.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil and cook the asparagus for 2-3 mins until just tender. Drain well and serve steaming hot in a pile for everyone to help themselves and dip into the sauce of their choice.

Steps:

• 1. Boil the wine, vinegar, shallots and one tablespoon of tarragon in a small, heavy saucepan until the liquid is reduced to two tablespoons. Then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve set into a medium metal bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids. 2. Whisk the yolks into the vinegar mixture, and then set the bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until the yolks have thickened slightly (do not scramble them). Whisk in the butter, one piece at a time, adding each piece before the previous one has melted completely. (Note: have your butter ready next to you so you don't accidentally overcook the eggs). 3. Remove it from the heat, and whisk in the lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tarragon, about 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). 4. Transfer the sauce to a smaller glass bowl, and place it into a saucepan that has boiling hot water in it. Cover it with a lid. This keeps the sauce warm while you grill or roast the filet mignon and roast the asparagus. 5. For the filet mignon, season each steak with kosher salt. If you are roasting the filets in a roasting pan or ovenproof frying pan, heat one tablespoon of the olive oil. When the filets are hot, sear them on all sides until they become golden brown. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast them for seven to eight minutes, turning the filets over after three to four minutes. 6. If you are grilling the filets, grill them over hot coals for about eight minutes per side (five minutes per side for rare). 7. To cook the asparagus, begin by preheating the oven to 400 °. 8. Snap or cut the dry stem ends off each asparagus, and place them on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on them, sprinkle them with salt and pepper and toss them. Roast the asparagus until it is tender, which will take about eight to ten minutes, depending on how thick your asparagus is. Cool it slightly, and serve it warm or at room temperature.
