How to Make Beurre Blanc
Report
Creamy and savory, this white sauce is perfect with salmon, chicken, or even roast beef!
Share:
Ingredients
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon minced shallots
- 4 ounces unsalted cold butter cut into ½" cubes
- Salt and white pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine wine, vinegar, and shallots in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until the liquid is reduced to about 2-3 tablespoons.
- Strain the mixture to remove the shallots and pour it back into the warm pan. Discard the shallot.
- Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cold butter, one cube at a time, until it is completely incorporated.
- Continue whisking over low heat until all of the butter is incorporated into the sauce.
- Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt & white pepper.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is cold.
- Whisk in one cube at a time until incorporated, take your time!
- Be sure to keep the saucepan on low when adding the butter heat to avoid “breaking” the sauce.
- If the sauce does break (the fat separates), simply remove the Beurre Blanc from the heat, let it cool a bit and add a very small amount of water. Whisk again and the sauce will bind again.
- Once thickened remove from the heat. Like a hollandaise sauce, you don’t want to overheat this sauce or it can separate.
