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!

Ingredients

  • 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pkg Béarnaise Sauce Mix
  • 1 cup water

Preparation

  1. In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, melt butter.
  2. Remove from heat; whisk in sauce mix. While whisking, slowly add water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer 3 min, stirring halfway, until thick.
  4. In a 4-cup microwavable bowl, melt butter, uncovered, on high, 40–60 sec.
  5. Whisk in sauce mix and water until well combined.
  6. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 2 1⁄2 min, stirring halfway through.
