Honey Tarragon Butter Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Sauces and Gravies Recipes
A rustic cousin to the classic "beurre blanc," this sauce marries the velvety richness of butter with the sweetness of honey and the zest of lemon. The distinct anise-pepper notes of tarragon crown the flavor profile. It's the perfect quick sauce for roasted chicken or steamed vegetables.

Instructions

1 ✓

In a small saucepan, combine the stock, lemon juice, and honey. Bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half (about 3-4 minutes).

Tip: This reduction concentrates the flavors for a punchy base.
2 ✓

Reduce heat to the lowest setting (or remove from heat entirely). Whisk in the cold butter cubes a few at a time, whisking constantly until melted and creamy.

Tip: This technique is called "mounting with butter" (monter au beurre). The cold butter emulsifies with the liquid, creating a thick, creamy sauce rather than just melted butter.
3 ✓

Once all the butter is incorporated and the sauce is silky, stir in the chopped tarragon.

Tip: Do not let the sauce boil after adding the butter, or it will break!

Recipe FAQ

The sauce separated (broke), what should I do?
The heat was likely too high. Remove from heat. In a separate bowl, add a teaspoon of warm water and slowly drizzle in the broken sauce while whisking constantly to re-emulsify.
