Steps:
- Combine vinegar, wine, shallots, black pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons tarragon in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until reduced to 1 tablespoon, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add egg yolks and 1 tablespoon of water to reduced vinegar mixture.
- Whisk until thick and pale, about 2 minutes.
- Set pan over moderately low heat and continue to whisk at reasonable speed reaching all over bottom and insides of pan, where eggs tend to overcook.
- To moderate heat, frequently move pan off burner for a few seconds, then back on.
- As they cook, the eggs will become frothy and increase in volume, then thicken.
- When the bottom of the pan is visible in the streaks left by the whisk and the eggs are thick and smooth, remove from heat.
- By spoonfuls, add soft butter, whisking constantly to incorporate each addition.
- As the emulsion forms, add butter in slightly larger amounts, always whisking until fully absorbed.
- Continue incorporating butter until sauce has thickened to consistency desired.
- Season with salt, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped tarragon and, if desired, pepper.
- Add a few droplets of lemon juice if necessary.

HOLLANDAISE SAUCE
This rich yet airy Hollandaise sauce is the basis for several other warm emulsions; the best-known variation is bearnaise, which includes the addition of tarragon. This recipe is adapted from the "Martha Stewart's Cooking School" cookbook.

Steps:
- Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat so water is barely simmering.
- Off the heat, whisk egg yolks in a heatproof bowl or on top of a double boiler until they become pale. Place over the simmering water. Whisking constantly, cook until the mixture is thick enough to hold a trail from the whisk and begins to hold its shape when drizzled from the whisk, about 3 minutes.
- Whisking constantly, add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until each addition is incorporated completely before adding the next. When all the butter has been added, season with lemon juice, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. The sauce should be thick but still able to drizzle from a spoon (and it should form a pool, not a mound). If it is too thick, thin it with a little water.
- The sauce is best if used immediately but can sit for about an hour over hot water in a bain-marie or in a Thermos.

Steps:
- Make the bearnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Blend yolks and bearnaise reduction together. With the blender running, add 1/3 of the butter in a slow steady stream. Once it emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.
BEARNAISE SAUCE
This bearnaise sauce is just so good! What can I say. Great on steamed veggies, I love it on a nice piece of filet mignon. :)

BéARNAISE SAUCE
A classic sauce for steaks and fish, a good béarnaise should have a pronounced piquancy from the tarragon, vinegar and shallots, along with plenty of creamy richness from butter and egg yolks. The key here to forming a stable emulsion is temperature. Make sure to follow the directions for when to add the cold butter versus the melted butter. You want the mixture to stay warm without overheating, which could make it curdle. It's not difficult, but it does require your undivided attention. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

Steps:
- In a heavy-bottomed, nonreactive 9- or 10-inch skillet over medium heat, bring the vinegar, wine, shallots, tarragon, pepper and salt to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- In a small bowl, beat egg yolks until they become thick and sticky, about 1 minute. Strain the vinegar mixture into the egg yolks and beat until combined. Add 1 tablespoon of cold butter, but do not beat it in.
- Scrape egg mixture back into skillet, and place it over very low heat. Stir egg yolks with a wire whisk until they slowly thicken, about 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in remaining tablespoon of cold butter, then beat in melted butter in a slow, steady stream until sauce thickens; consistency should be like mayonnaise. Taste and correct seasoning, and beat in parsley. Serve the sauce warm, not hot. It will keep for up to 5 days in the fridge.
