STEAK FILLET WITH TARRAGON CREAM BRANDY SAUCE
I bought some thick steak fillets the other night and was going to serve them with a peppered sauce and creamed spinach. I still made the creamed spinach as we have not had it in a while and I knew my hubby would like it as it is a favorite of his. I noticed I had some tarragon to use up and new I would not be making anything to use it in over the next few days, so I came up with this sauce, to utilize it. The sauce turned out surprisingly well and we both enjoyed it very much, instead of cooking the onions I was using up in the sauce. I sliced 2 onions thinly and fried them separately and placed them on top of the steak.

Steps:
- Add sliced onion to a small pan with a little olive oil and cook until onion is soft and browned, can either be kept warm on stove or reheated in a microwave later.
- Sauce.
- Add brandy, beef stock and mustard to a pan bring to the boil, whisk to blend mustard.
- Add garlic and both creams, mix a little water with cornflour, add to sauce stir until mixture boils and thickens, turn down heat.
- Add pepper, tarragon and juice stir to combine, keep sauce warm on a low heat, on the stove, stirring occasionally to prevent a skin forming over the top.
- Steaks.
- Season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper, BBQ, Grill or pan fry until browned and cooked as desired.
- I like mine medium rare so when I have thick steaks like these, I sear each side for 2 minutes and then place in the oven for 15 minutes at 180°C.
- To Serve: Top each steak with some onion, pour sauce over and serve with whatever veg and starch you want. I served mine with creamed spinach.
TARRAGON STEAK SAUCE
I first made this on the Valentine's Day that my husband proposed to me. After he tasted it I think it sealed the deal! It is very elegant when served with steak, and it can also be used on chicken. Very flavorful and simple!

Steps:
- Combine wine, vinegar, and herbs in a double boiler.
- Cook until it is reduced by half.
- Scramble the egg yolks and salt in a blender or food processor (I prefer a blender).
- Add the wine/herb mixture to the eggs in the blender/processor.
- Now melt the butter in a saucepan until it is very hot bubbly.
- Turn on the blender/processor, and pour very hot butter through the cork in the blender lid or through the top of the food processor (you must do this while the machine is blending!) This will cook the egg mixture. Whip until everything is mixed and smooth like a mayonnaise.
- Serve right away, usually on the side for dipping, or you can spoon some on top of the steak.
