Even if it is Monday sometimes I just want to eat “fancy” without paying the $$$ so I thought why not go for the cheaper version of a luxurious stake…Think Patties 🙂

Patties

500 grams/ 1 pound minced Beef

1 egg

1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

1 tablespoon Kalvfond or Better than Bullion

2 Minced Garlic Clove

Fresh chopped Tarragon

Fresh chopped Basil

Salt and Pepper

Blend all the ingredients together and make patties roast the either on the grill or in the oven till they are done 400F/200C.

Béarnaise

2 egg yolk

1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

1 tablespoon White wine vinegar

2.5 dl/ 1 cup Vegetables Oil

Mix together all the ingredients for the mayonnaise except the oil that you will slowly add during whisking.

1-2 minced Garlic Clove

1/2 Lemon use the juice and the zest

1 1/2 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

Chopped Tarragon

Salt and Pepper

Add the rest of the ingredients and season with salt and pepper. I served this with roasted brussels sprouts mix with spinach and cocktail tomatoes in an olive Oil Vinaigrette. The kids ate whole wheat pasta and Knut was begging me that next time he really wants the patties to be made on the grill, let just hope that the summer will be here soon!!
