Ingredients

1	x	vanilla bean	or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2	cup	sugar
2	cups	milk	cream, or combination thereof
4	x	egg yolks

Directions

Split the vanilla bean, scrape out the seeds and place them in a saucepan.

Add half of the sugar and all of the milk.

Heat, while whisking, until the mixture becomes hot but not boiling.

Remove from the heat.

Whisk the eggs in a bowl, gradually adding in the other half of the sugar until they form a ribbon.

Slowly whisk half of the hot milk mixture into the eggs.

Then pour the egg mixture into the saucepan with the rest of the milk.

Over low heat, constantly whisk until it reaches 170-175 degrees or coats the back of a spoon, about five to eight minutes.

Do not boil it.

Strain the sauce.

Chill it in the fridge with a piece of plastic wrap right on the mixture to prevent a film from forming.

Filets with Tarragon Butter

I followed the recipe as directed, but, by the time I allowed the steaks to rest for several hours, my guests were so drunk that I had to ask them to leave. And, the steaks were so cold that the tarragon butter would not melt. However, they tasted great the next day! Thanks, CrockPot Carlo
