Serves 4
Ingredients

- ¼ cup white wine vinegar
- ½ tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped tarragon leaves (plus 1 teaspoon)
- 2 egg yolks
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Kosher salt (to taste)

- Place the metal bowl over the saucepan of boiling water and turn the heat down to low. Keep an eye to be sure the bowl isn’t touching the boiling water.
- Whisk the egg-shallot mixture until it begins to thicken, about 5-6 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the butter, a splash at a time. Continue whisking until the sauce has emulsified.
- Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice and remaining 1 tsp. tarragon leaves. Season with salt, to taste. Serve.
Notes
Sauce cannot be reheated.
However, it can be held at temperature in a sous vide water bath at 130 degrees for up to 4 hours. Add the sauce to a mason jar and place it in the bath.
