Romantic Dinner For Two Keto Steak With Bernaise Sauce Food

KETO BEARNAISE SAUCE HOMEMADE

Steps:

• Place a small saucepan over medium heat, add the vinegar, wine, peppercorns, and onion. Reduce until 2-3 tablespoons of liquid remain.
• Strain out the onion and peppercorns and pour the liquid into a heatproof bowl. Add the egg yolks.
• Melt the butter until the milk fat (white liquid) has separated from the yellow butter. Set aside.
• Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and start whisking.
• Continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and foamy and creates thick ribbons when the whisk is lifted.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and slowly pour in the hot butter while whisking, ensuring that the milk fat is left behind. This step is similar to making mayonnaise - if you add the butter too quickly the sauce will split.
• Whisk in the salt, pepper, and tarragon.
• Serve immediately or keep warm until needed.

STEAK WITH BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce:.
• Put the Champagne Vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon of the chopped tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of 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 of salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds.
• With the blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped 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 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 Bearnaise 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.
• Enjoy!
