    List of Ingredients




    Pan-Seared Rib-Eye Steak with Béarnaise (Entrecôte Béarnaise)


    For steaks

    * 2 (1 1/4-inch-thick) boneless rib-eye steaks (16 ounces each)
    * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

    For béarnaise

    * 1/4 cup dry white wine
    * 1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
    * 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
    * 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, divided
    * 3 large egg yolks
    * 1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
    * 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste

    Recipe





    * Accompaniment: shoe string potatoes

    Cook steaks:

    Halve steaks crosswise, then pat dry and sprinkle all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (total).

    Heat a 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then add oil, swirling skillet to coat bottom, and cook steaks 5 minutes per side for medium-rare.

    Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 5 minutes.

    Make béarnaise while steaks stand:

    Boil wine, vinegar, shallots, and 1 tablespoon tarragon in a small heavy saucepan until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve set into a medium metal bowl, pressing on and then discarding solids.

    Whisk yolks into vinegar mixture, then set bowl over a pan of barely simmering water and cook, whisking constantly, until yolks have thickened slightly (do not scramble).

    Whisk in butter 1 piece at a time, adding each piece before previous one has melted completely. Remove from heat and whisk in lemon juice, remaining tablespoon tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste). Serve steaks with sauce.
