Béarnaise Sauce
Béarnaise sauce is the reason to grill steak. Its buttery creaminess softens the smoky flavour of the BBQ, while the vinegary, tarragon tang accentuates the steak’s flavour. Classic Béarnaise sauce is tricky. This epic blend only needs butter and water, and it’s microwave-ready-to-eat in 5 minutes. Pro tip: prepare sauce while your juicy steak rests!
