- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
- 2 teaspoons minced shallot
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- four 1-inch-thick rib-eye steaks
- vegatable oil for rubbing on steaks
- On a small plate with a fork blend all ingredients together well and transfer to a sheet of wax paper.
- Using wax paper as an aid, shape butter into a 4-inch-long log and wrap.
- Chill butter 1 hour long, or until firm.
- Bearnaise butter may be made 5 days ahead and kept chilled, wrapped tightly.
- Prepare grill.
- Bring steaks to room temperature and rub lightly with oil.
- Season steaks with salt and pepper and grill on a rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare meat.
