Ingredients

4 Tbs chopped fresh tarragon or dill

1 small shallot finely chopped

1/4 cup white dry wine

1/4 cup champagne or wine vinegar

4 large egg yolks, room temp

1 1/2 sticks butter melted and cooled a bit

dash Dijon mustard

dash sugar if desired ( if you think flavor is too sharp or pungent )

dash bovril ( beef extract ) optional but adds nice hint

salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp of guar gum or as needed to thicken

light or heavy cream to thin if needed when sauce is cold

Directions

In a heavy duty sauce pan, place the fresh herbs, shallots ,wine and vinegar and cook over medium heat to boiling and reduce the mixture to a few Tbs.

Cool.

Place cooled herb mixture in a blender with the egg yolks, Dijon, bovril and blend on high speed to combine.

Slowly add the melted cooled butter in a steady stream , blending on high.

Return mixture to a heavy duty sauce pan and on low -med heat constantly whisk mixture a few minutes then add the guar gum, whisking till thickened.

Do not let boil or eggs will curdle, lift pan off burner above heat if needed when whisking; of course use a double boiler if you wish.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Add a dash of sugar if desried if too pungent

At this point the mixture may be served warm , place in a serving sauce bowl.

Whem warm it is great over grilled steaks , roasted

potatoes , cooked vegetables especially asparagus or even pasta

Cover mixture and chill well

If too thick when chilled, stir in a bit of cream to thin.

When chilled it's just a delcious cold as it is warm .

When cold it makes a wonderful spread for meat sandwiches or even over hot grilled steaks, again as a sandwich spread or on anything you wish to put it on!

Note: guar gum may be purchased at natural food stores as well as some Indian grocers
