Sirloin Steak With Bearnaise Sauce Recipes

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:

• Combine garlic salt and pepper; sprinkle over roast. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing. , Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the vinegar, green onions, tarragon and pepper; bring to a boil. Strain, reserving liquid; discard green onions and tarragon. , In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over simmering water, whisk egg yolks, water and vinegar mixture until blended; cook until mixture is just thick enough to coat a metal spoon and temperature reaches 160°, whisking constantly., Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until melted. Whisk in parsley. Keep warm. Cut roast into thin slices; serve with sauce.

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.

Steps:

• For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
• Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
• Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
• Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.
