    Very similar to the way I learned to make this sauce in a fussy french restaurant. John, you are the first person I have ever seen who has come close to teaching this techique. Great to see! it has superior results to the clarified butter method. A variation I recommend is with mint-serve with lamb and you will be happy.

    I just want to thank you. Your videos over the years have helped me tremendously in the kitchen. I use your techniques in cooking anytime I enter the kitchen.

    Béarnaise is definitely my favourite sauce. I have made tons of it, and I was led to believe that it was an incredibly difficult sauce to make. I have since learned that it´s really a lie, and it is actually quite easy to make.
    I have never made it this way though, and now I have to try that. It seems even easier.
    I also never used capers in the sauce before, but I can imagine what that would taste like, and I will have to try that as well.
    I have two tips. Finding high quality tarragon, that doesn´t taste like straw is sometimes difficult, at least in Sweden where I live, so I have found glass jars with tarragon preserved in vinegar in the stores. That is sometimes miles better than the crappy tarragon I can find in stores, so I use that instead. It´s great, and it lasts forever.
    Also, I usually add a little beef stock when I do the reduction. It´s a brilliant boost of flavour.
    Thanks for your videos. They are inspiring and entertaining.
    You´re the Willie Mays of sauce Béarnaise :-)

    • @rbettsx
      @rbettsx 7 років тому +1

      ei96byod I'm definitely going to try this method out with Hollandaise first. To have it split after waiting 30 minutes for the reduction? You would have to keep me out of range of breakable objects!

    • @ei96byod
      @ei96byod 7 років тому +3

      I know what you mean, but as long as the eggs haven´t scrambled it is usually fairly easy to save the sauce. Start with a new bowl, add one extra egg yolk to the bowl, and then slowly add the split mess while whisking heavily.

    Hey, Chef John. You just gave me an idea that I'm willing to share with you. I like to serve creamed spinach in a yorkshire pudding cooked in bacon grease (cooked in a 6 inch cast iron skillet). Conceivably you could take a cue from eggs sardou and use the creamed spinach filled yorkshire pudding instead of an english muffin, then use the steak (I've had great success using sliced shortribs in other dishes) and béarnaise. In the words of Alton Brown from his 'How to Archer' appearance, it's a 'cholesterol Katrina', but I think it has the potential to be a real winner. Also, side note: taking a cue from House of Prime Rib, putting minced bacon in creamed spinach is the bomb.
