Bearnaise Sauce

So now you've managed to struggle through a Hollandaise sauce preparation, now for its variations.
Bearnaise sauce is typically used on steaks; it's rich in flavor and slightly high on acidity since it's made with a red wine redux.

So here's what you'll need for bearnaise sauce:
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 tbsp fresh tarragon medium dice/slice
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup Hollandaise sauce

Method:
Quickly saute shallots until it sweats - don't use butter
Add red wine and tarragon leaves
Reduce until it becomes a paste
Let cool and fold into Hollandaise sauce

Serve on steak
