Bernaise Sauce
Bernaise Sauce is a rich and creamy sauce made by whisking together butter, egg yolks, cream, minced onion, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, and tarragon until thickened. It offers a tangy, herbal flavor and smooth texture that complements steaks and other grilled meats. The sauce is cooked gently while whisking to prevent curdling and served immediately for best texture.
