Just made this tonight ..........

After the Farmers market today I felt like wippin' up something good so I went to the meat guy and he set me up with a kick ass rib steak. I had to dress it up so I rubbed in some of my special seasoning (receipt another day)  and  made a quick cream, mushroom, tarragon and cognac sauce.

Here is how the sauce goes.
  • Mince some mushrooms, add some garlic and sauté in butter till brown. Then add the cognac + some fresh tarragon and cook down for 10 more minutes. The mushrooms absorb all the other flavors.
  • Add a bit of heavy cream
  • Separate 6 egg yokes and beat with a small bit of water & heat on medium high while whisking.
  • Add the mushroom mix to the egg yokes.
  • Add some more heavy cream + salt & pepper.
  • Cook it down on medium high while whisking - remember that heavy cream is actually 60% water so it will cook down.
  • When done press through a sieve.
  • Serve it up hot with your steak
