4Venison striploin steaks
2units.itemsEgg yolks
1Pinch of cayenne pepper
125gButter
3units.itemsSprigs of tarragon
1tarragon vinegar
250gPeeled and cooked chestnuts
50gButter
100mlCream
150mlMilk

Preparation
- Heat the frying pan. Cook the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest covered with aluminum foil.
- Put the egg yolks in a mini food processor and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Then add the vinegar.
- Finely chop the tarragon stems and the tarragon leaves separately.
- Melt the butter in a pan and add the finely chopped tarragon stems. Let the mixture simmer gently—the butter should be hot so it will slightly set the egg yolks.
- Turn on the food processor and slowly add the hot melted butter while the machine is running. Once all the butter has been added and the mixture is smooth and thick, pour it into a bowl and stir in the tarragon leaves.
- Slowly heat the shallots in a saucepan with the butter. Add the chestnuts, milk, and cream and heat together with the orange zest.
- Drain the liquid and reserve it. Place the chestnuts in a blender and blend, slowly adding the liquid until a smooth consistency is reached.
- Store in a ziplock bag in warm water until use.
