Instructions
SAUCE:Bring White Wine Vinegar, White Wine, Peppercorns, Shallots, and Tarragon to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook, whisking constantly, until reduced to one tablespoon. Remove mixture from heat; whisk in water, egg yolks, salt, and red pepper.
Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, 4 minutes or until pale yellow. Remove from heat, add unsalted butter in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly, until thickened. Pour sauce through a wire-mesh strainer into a bowl, discarding shallots; stir in chervil, and serve warm with steak.
ASPARAGUS:Meanwhile, cook asparagus in large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; divide among plates. Spoon sauce over.
