SIRLOIN STEAK WITH BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Season steak on both sides with salt and pepper and refrigerate. Combine wine, vinegar and shallot in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is reduced to two tablespoons, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, add oil and reserved tablespoon of butter. When butter is melted, add steak and sear for one minute. Reduce heat and continue to cook until the first side is golden brown and beginning to crisp, about three minutes longer. Turn the steak with tongs and sear the other side until well-browned, two or three minutes.
• Place pan in oven and finish cooking, turning once, 6-8 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a platter and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. To finish sauce, put it through a fine strainer, pressing on shallots. Whisk the five tablespoons of cold butter a few pieces at a time into warm reduction until you have a creamy sauce. Stir in tarragon to taste and season with salt and pepper. Slice steak into half-inch thick slices across grain, spoon sauce on top and serve.

STEAK WITH BéARNAISE SAUCE AND WATERCRESS, ROCKET AND SHALLOT SALAD

Steps:

• Season the steaks with salt and pepper and set aside to come to room temperature.
• For the béarnaise sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over a low heat. In a separate pan, make a reduction by heating the vinegar, shallots, tarragon stalks and peppercorns and cook until you have reduced by half. Strain through a sieve and allow to cool.
• Whisk the egg yolks and vinegar reduction together in a glass bowl over a bain marie, until incorporated. Gradually drizzle in the melted butter, whisking all the time, until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, to taste. Stir in the chopped tarragon leaves and season to taste. Set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan or griddle pan until hot and heat the oil. Add the steaks and cook until coloured on each side. Add the butter and cook until medium-rare, or to your liking (about 2½ minutes on each side for medium-rare). Leave to rest.
• Prepare the salad by mixing the watercress, rocket and shallot in a bowl. Dress with the vinaigrette.
• To serve, arrange the salad alongside the steaks and serve with the béarnaise on the side.

SUNNY'S T-BONE STEAK WITH EASY BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the T-bone steaks: Heat a large cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Generously sprinkle both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
• Add the oil to the griddle. Add the steaks and cook until nicely browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the heat, then tent with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
• For the easy bearnaise sauce: Add the yolks and lemon juice to a blender. Turn on the blender and slowly stream in the melted butter. Once all the butter is incorporated, season with salt and pepper. Remove the sauce to a bowl over a bain marie (hot water) and keep warm. Add the chives, red onion and thyme and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with a little more salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and add to a serving bowl.
• Serve the bearnaise sauce over the steaks.

BéARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks in a mini food processor and season with salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne, then add the vinegar.
• Finely chop the tarragon stalks and leaves separately. Melt the butter in a pan then add the chopped tarragon stalks and bring it to a simmer - the butter needs to be hot so that it will cook the egg yolks slightly.
• Turn the processor on and add the hot melted butter slowly while the processor is running. Once all the butter has been added and the mixture is smooth and thick, pour it into a bowl and stir through the tarragon leaves. Season and serve with steak.

PAN-SEARED RIB-EYE STEAK WITH BéARNAISE (ENTRECôTE BéARNAISE)

Steps:

• Cook steaks:
• Halve steaks crosswise, then pat dry and sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total).
• Heat a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then add oil, swirling skillet to coat bottom, and cook steaks 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.
• Make béarnaise while steaks stand:
• Boil wine, vinegar, shallots, and 1 tablespoon tarragon in a small heavy saucepan until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve set into a medium metal bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids.
• Whisk yolks into vinegar mixture, then set bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until yolks have thickened slightly (do not scramble).
• Whisk in butter 1 piece at a time, adding each piece before previous one has melted completely. Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Serve steaks with sauce.

SUPER STEAK WITH CHEAT'S BEARNAISE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a small nonstick frying pan that has a lid. Tip the potatoes into the pan, cover and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally so the potatoes get tossed around. Remove the lid and fry the potatoes uncovered for another 4-5 minutes, until crisp and golden.
• Meanwhile, season the steak. About 5 minutes before the potatoes are ready, heat the remaining oil in a small heavy-based frying pan and fry the steak for 11⁄2-2 minutes on each side, depending how you like it done.
• Take the steak out of the pan and put it on a warmed plate. Turn down the heat, spoon in the vinegar (it will evaporate immediately), then quickly stir in the crème fraîche and mustard and heat just until they melt and make a sauce. Sprinkle in most of the tarragon, stir and taste for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the steak and scatter with the remaining tarragon. Serve with the crisp potatoes and a green salad, pour yourself a glass of red wine - and tuck in.
