Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
2. 2 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Place veal bones in a roasting pan.
3. 3 Roast bones in the preheated oven until well-browned, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
4. 4 While the bones are roasting, drizzle oil onto a baking sheet. Add onions, carrots, and celery, then spread tomato paste over top. Mix until vegetables are well coated.

8. 8 Pour liquid and browned bits into the stockpot.
9. 9 Bring contents of the stockpot to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, skimming foam as necessary, until meat and all connective tissues are completely off the bones, about 18 hours.
10. 10 Set a colander over a bowl. Ladle vegetables, bones, and meat into the colander. Discard vegetables, bones, and meat; return any broth to the stockpot.

• white wine
• tarragon
• caper
• butter
• egg yolk
• tarragon vinegar
• butter
• caper-tarragon compound butter
• salt
• cayenne pepper

Instructions

1. 1 Place 1 cup of tarragon, shallots, and peppercorns in a saucepan. Pour in white wine vinegar, white wine, and water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer; stir. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and reduce liquid to about 3 tablespoons, 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer, pressing tarragon mixture to extract as much liquid as possible.
2. 2 To make the compound butter: Place 1/4 cup chopped tarragon and capers in a mortar. Mash with a pestle for about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon of cold butter. Mash and pound with a pestle until ingredients are thoroughly combined in a solid mass. Transfer to a piece of plastic wrap; wrap and chill.
3. 3 To make the Béarnaise sauce: Place egg yolks in a stainless steel (flameproof) mixing bowl; add 3 tablespoons tarragon/shallot reduction; whisk together. Add cold butter cubes. Place bowl over low to medium heat whisking constantly until sauce thickens, as you hold the bowl with a kitchen towel. After butter melts continue whisking; mixture will turn a lighter yellow color after 8 to 10 minutes. When mixture is nice and thick, reduce heat to low and stir in compound butter broken into chunks. Continue whisking. Remove from heat. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
