When I initially published this recipe in December 2012, I was still taking pictures with an iPhone 3. Consequently my pictures were grainy and just not very good. I remade this recipe both in November and December 2017 and retook the pictures.

This time when I made the recipe, I made it two ways. I made it in the microwave in November and in December I decided to make it on the stove. One thing I recommend is adding the chervil for this recipe. I’ve had a jar in my spice rack for several years so I added it, even though my mother-in-law never used it. It’s a delightful herb even if it’s not used much here in the states.

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients.

Melt butter in small skillet over low heat.

Add heavy cream.

Add lemon juice.

Add egg yolks. 

Add ground mustard and salt.

Whisk everything together until smooth. Add diced, minced onion, tarragon, chervil and cooking wine. I normally don’t ever cook with wine but I’m trying to preserve this family recipe as it has been prepared in the past.

Cook over low heat until mixture thickens. Be careful not to overcook or the eggs and cream will curdle.

Here the sauce is ready to serve over the beef.

Ladle the Bearnaise Sauce over top of the prime rib. We served the prime rib with Cheesy Red Potatoes. The lumps in the sauce are from the diced onion.

Every bite of Bearnaise Sauce for Prime Rib Roast is succulent and amazing.
