SIRLOIN WITH BEARNAISE SAUCE

Sirloin with Bearnaise Sauce image

When I want a meal to be extra special, I feature this beef roast as the centerpiece. The pale yellow sauce with flecks of green looks lovely draped over the slices. I'm 86 years old and have been cooking almost my whole life. -Willa Govoro, Nevada, Missouri
