- 4 steak fillets, cut 1 1/2 inches thick
- 2 tablespoons oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Mock Bearnaise Sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 egg yolks
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut up
- 1 shallot, very finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon, 1/2 t dried
- Let the fillet steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet and when it is quite hot, add the steaks with salt and pepper to taste and cook over a fairly high heat, turning them every minute, until they are cooked for 6 minutes altogether (for rare), 8 minutes (for medium-rare), and 10 minutes (for well-done).
- Meanwhile, put the lemon juice and egg yolks in the container of a blender or food processor and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt the butter, turn on the machine, remover the insert cap, and drizzle the hot butter in a slow, steady stream.
- When it is all incorporated, turn off the machine, add the chopped shallots and tarragon, and turn the machine on for less than 5 seconds just to combine them.
- Arrange a fillet steak on each plate and pour the mock Bearnaise on the side of each steak.
- Serve immediately.
