Perfect for anyone looking to master the techniques of any great chef. Get ready for Chef Tyler to teach you how to expertly pan sear a steak and how to make sauce Bernaise, a derivative of one of the five “mother sauces” that are the backbone of French cuisine. Plus, a beautiful NY Strip steak, classic baked potato, and delicious tarragon truffle Bearnaise makes for one spectacular meal!
1. Choose your favorite cut, whether it’s T-Bone, bone-in Ribeye, or New York strip steak.
2. Quarter your potatoes sear them in the same pan you cooked your steak. This will add flavor and texture to your potatoes.
3. Add a couple dashes of hot sauce to your Bearnaise to add spice. When adding the melted clarified butter to the cooked eggs, start with a very small stream. Once the sauce gains more structure, you add the clarified butter in larger increments.
4. Make sure to season your steak liberally. Red meat can take quite a bit of salt.
5. As a rule of thumb, always rest your cooked meat for about half the time it took to cook. This allows the juices to settle and absorb back into the meat.
