Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Butter
- 4 lrg Egg yolks, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Sauce, Worcestershire
- 2 Tbsp. Wine, red
- 1 pch Pepper, cayenne
- 2 Tbsp. Wine, Chablis Salt (to taste)
- 1 Tbsp. Wine, white

- Heat the butter in a skillet over a medium flame. Don't burn the butter. When the butter is completely melted, remove the skillet from the burner.
- Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, red wine and cayenne pepper in the top of a double boiler. The water in the bottom pan shouldn't touch the top pan and should be simmering, not rapidly boiling.
- Using a wire whisk, beat the egg-yolk mix till it thickens and a sheen forms, approximately 3 min, but no more than 5 min.
- In a slow, steady stream, begin adding the melted butter with a ladle, whipping it with a wire whisk. Continue till all of the butter has been added.
- Add in the Chablis and whip well. The sauce should be light and fluffy.
- In a small saucepan heat 1 Tbsp. white wine and the tarragon leaves till the liquid evaporates. Remove from the heat and add in to the sauce, mixing well.
- Hold the sauce at room temperature till serving time.
