Challenge accepted then? Your followers need a ruling.
I like straight horseradish with prime rib and nothing with any other beef. I have found that a lot of people, especially women, like bearnaise (Behrnaise) with Filet Mignon. This is simple and works very well.
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2 shallots, minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 egg yolks
1 stick butter, melted
Salt and pepper
Make the behrnaise reduction first. In a small saucepan, combine the tarragon, shallots, vinegar and wine over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Blend yolks and reduction together. With the blender running, add 1/3 of the butter in a slow steady stream. Once it emulsifies, turn the blender speed up to high and add the remaining butter. Season with salt and pepper and set aside in a warm spot to hold the sauce.
You can use a whisk if you don't have or want to use a blender, but you will need someone to add the butter slowly while you whisk. If you don't, it will "break" and be a gooey butter topped mess of egg and tarragon soup.
Behr, if you wanted to replicate the Ricardo sauce at Carrabba's, what would you put in it? I know it has drawn butter, lemon juice, and pepperoncinis. Have you ever had it? Yum!!!
Carrabbas Ricardo Sauce
2 tablespoons clarified butter (you'll need about 1/2 stick butter; directions follow)
2 tablespoons finely chopped yellow onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
2 to 3 pepperocini sliced into rings and seeded
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons dry white wine
Red Pepper flakes
Kosher salt
White pepper
2 tablespoons cold butter
To clarify butter: Melt 1/2 stick butter over low heat. When melted, remove from heat, and set aside for several minutes to allow the milk solids to settle to the bottom. Skim the clear (clarified) butter from the top, and discard sediment. (This can be done ahead.)
To make sauce: Heat clarified butter, add onion,garlic and pepperocini rings, and saute until transparent.
(Don't let them get brown or it will change the sauce once the cold butter is emulsified!!!)
Add lemon juice, red pepper flakes and white wine, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes to reduce liquid. Remove from heat and swirl in cold butter until sauce is smooth and emulsified.

Same questions for the shrimp....
