George Rich, buttery, tarragon-flavoured Exquisite Vegan Béarnaise Sauce is just so good. It was my wife’s favourite sauce before we went vegan. That’s why I knew it would be perfect to veganize it for her birthday dinner party. It combines amazingly with the Succulent Vegan Filet Mignon I made for her. It’s also amazing with our Vegan Seitan Steaks!
You couldn’t tell the difference between this one and the non-vegan one. Apart from the non involvement of any cruelty, of course! Everyone will love this insanely delicious sauce!
It’s also the perfect sauce for accompanying roast potatoes (check our Perfect roast potatoes with a crunch recipe).

Ingredients
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 3 tbsp water
- 250 g vegan butter
- 2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
- 230 g extra-firm silken tofu
- 1/4 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 pinch sea salt
- White pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the water, vinegar and shallots to a boil. Let it reduce to half the volume.
- Pour the liquid into a bowl through a finely meshed sieve to separate the shallots from it. Ensure you have 1/4 of liquid, otherwise top up with more water. Add the tarragon to the liquid.
- Using a double boiler, melt the vegan butter.
- Now, using a high-speed blender, combine the butter and extra-firm silken tofu and blend until smooth. Add the liquid from the bowl, lemon juice, turmeric, salt, and white pepper, and blend again until combined.
- Pour into your sauce jug and garnish with chopped tarragon. Enjoy it with our Succulent Vegan Filet Mignon or our Vegan Seitan Steaks. You will love the combination!
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days.

OMG thank you so much, I had never made this sauce and despite being a confident cook this one I was nervous about … your recipe is perfect and my husband who is a trained chef said it is one of the best tasting béarnaise sauces he has had. This recipe was so easy and tastes great, you would never notice that it is vegan unless you’re told so!!
