Cooking with Blackvault (Steak and Bearnaise Sauce)

Hello my turn for a cooking thread!

On tonight's menu, Grilled Sirolin Steak with garlic, rosemary and black pepper, Bearnaise Sauce, Baked Potato and Salad.

Ingredients:
Steak
1 clove of garlic (peeled and cut in half)
Olive Oil
Black pepper
Tarragon vinegar
Dry White Wine
1x Shallot
2 egg yolks
Butter
Tarragon
Dijon mustard

The ingredients all ready. Let the cooking commence!

I didn't have tarragon vinegar so I used red wine vinegar and put a few pieces in to help the infusion.

Rub the garlic all over the steak, coat with black pepper and olive olive. Leave to marinade with some more garlic and rosemary for a few hours.

Chop the shallot up, boil with the white wine and the tarragon flavoured vinegar.

The finished product. Sorry I don't have any images for the process as its hands on. Allow the shallot/wine/vinegar to cool almost completely and then add in the egg yolks and the butter. Just enough heat to melt the butter making sure the eggs don't scramble! Putting the sauce in a jug and then in warm water allows the sauce to stay warm while you cook the meat.

Grill the steak to taste.

Served with baked potato and salad.

All gone. First time I've had the sauce and I must say it was rather nice. I got a Come dine with me style 8/10 from the family for the meal, well chuffed

Also had to feed him .... and then this as pudding

Thanks

You left the skin! WHY!

Bit stingy on the tomatoes

Looks very nice though

What a ****ing travesty! You left both the spudskin and the steak fat.

Looked tasty though, although I'd have used Rump Steak as I prefer the taste to Sirloin.
