Ingredients:

For the Lamb Steaks:

  • 2 lamb steaks (about 8 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

For the Béarnaise Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons shallots, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh tarragon, chopped (reserve some for garnish)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Béarnaise Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the white wine vinegar, white wine, shallots, and tarragon.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half.
  3. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly pour in the reduced wine mixture while continuously whisking to combine.
  5. Place the bowl over a pot of gently simmering water (double boiler method) and whisk constantly until the mixture thickens (about 3-4 minutes).
  6. Slowly pour in the melted butter while whisking, and continue until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  7. Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove from heat and set aside. Keep the sauce warm.

Step 2: Cook the Lamb Steaks

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Season the lamb steaks generously with salt, pepper, and any fresh herbs you like (rosemary or thyme works great).
  3. Add the lamb steaks to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust the time for desired doneness).
  4. Remove the lamb steaks from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 3: Serve

  1. Place the cooked lamb steaks on a plate.
  2. Spoon a generous amount of the Béarnaise sauce over the steaks.
  3. Garnish with additional fresh tarragon.
  4. Serve immediately with your favorite sides (roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad).

Tips & Variations:

🍷 Wine Pairing: Serve with a glass of full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Syrah to complement the rich flavors of the lamb and sauce.
🥔 Side Suggestions: This dish pairs beautifully with roasted potatoes, grilled asparagus, or a creamy potato gratin.
💡 Make-Ahead Sauce: You can make the Béarnaise sauce ahead of time and reheat it gently over low heat before serving. Be careful not to overheat or the sauce may separate.
🍋 Extra Zing: Add a touch of lemon zest to the Béarnaise sauce for extra brightness.
