Ingredients
- 2 lbs green beans
- 1/2 lb 2 sticks unsalted butter
- 12 sage leaves
- 4 egg yolks
- 6 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of cayenne
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Trim the stem ends of the green beans.
- Place a steamer basket in a large pot filled with a few inches of water. Add the green beans to the basket. Bring to a boil and cover. Cook until green beans are crisp but tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the sage leaves. Continue to cook the butter until it is nut brown and very fragrant, about 8 to 12 minutes. Scrape solids off the bottom of the pan with a spatula. Reserve fried sage leaves for garnish.
- Place egg yolks into a blender and add lemon juice, cayenne, mustard and season well. Pulse once or twice. Pour hot brown butter into the blender slowly in a thin stream to emulsify.
- Keep sauce warm and pour over the beans, garnishing with the fried sage leaves.
