What’s your go-to special occasion meal? I don’t even have to think about mine; it’s the same every single time.

Steak with bearnaise. Oh… and wine. Definitely the wine.

So when we began our last Whole30, we felt like starting with a bang. Why not celebrate, start off right? No sweet potatoes or avocados just yet; we’d get to those later. Nah, we’d treat this like a celebration on its own:we’re about to feel fan-freaking-tastic. I didn’t even have to think about what to serve to match the indulgence we felt the occasion deserved.

Steak with bearnaise. Oh… but no wine. That’s alright; we’ve got 48 cans of LaCroix in the fridge.

If I had to pick an herb to live with forever, it’d be cilantro, without a doubt. Just how controversial this herb is makes me a bit sad, since loving cilantro is a full-time gig over here. I accept it, though, and simply commit my appreciation for my cilantro-digging tastebuds in my gratitude journal regularly (Am I joking or nah? You decide).

Second to cilantro, though?Tarragon, no doubt. And for the cilantro-haters out there, don’t judge tarragon by association! There’s something so rich and heady about tarragon that makes it feel indulgent to me. It elevates every dish, infuses sauces with an elegant herbaceous quality I can’t get enough of. So infusing an über-rich hollandaise sauce with tarragon? I’m sold x 10000.

When paired with a perfectly cooked Whole30 steak or filet, bearnaise sauce provides a creaminess and richness that a leaner cut of meat craves. The infusion from the herbs and aromatics heightens the flavor profile of the steak itself, and I’ll order it any time I see it. I prefer to make it at home, though, because no one judges the massive amounts I pour onto my protein, no slightly raised eyebrows from the waiter when I ask for another little cup of the stuff.

Leave me and my bearnaise alone. We’re happy! Don’t judge us.

This Whole30 steak with bearnaise sauce is theperfect paleo orWhole30 Valentine’s dinner without a doubt. We take an affordable, leaner cut of meat, sear it beautifully, and slather it with a ghee-based Whole30 bearnaise sauce. And with a high-speed blender, the Whole30 bearnaise sauce comes together so quickly and easily!
