Recipe for cold bearnaise cream
The delightful taste of Sauce Bearnaise, just in a cold sauce instead.
A warm summer day with steaks on the grill usually doesn’t call for making homemade Sauce Bearnaise. But the rich and tangy flavor pairs so wonderfully with a good steak, so here we have our version of an easy, homemade cold Bearnaise dressing.
Simply mix the ingredients together and let it sit for a few minutes – it doesn’t get any easier.
I got the idea for this recipe from a friend many years ago, when he just mixed a tub of crème fraîche with a packet of Knorr Bearnaise powder. He used it as a dip for chips.
