Lamb Flank with Bearnaise Sauce

Preparation

Blanched Asparagus

1. Bring a medium sized pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Fill a large bowl, big enough to contain the cooked asparagus, with ice water.
3. Snap each asparagus stem where it breaks naturally and then using a paring knife even the spears so they are of equal length.
4. Starting from just below the tip, with a vegetable peeler, carefully pare away the fibrous outer skin of the asparagus spears, revealing the tender stalks.
5. Place the cut and peeled asparagus spears in the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds.
6. Drain and place the asparagus in the reserved ice bath.
7. Remove asparagus from the ice water and place on a tray lined with paper toweling. Chill the asparagus until ready to grill.
8. Just before serving, grill the asparagus over an open flame.
9. Keep grilled asparagus spears warm and proceed to assemble the dish.

2. Finely mince the shallots and add them to the pan. Sauté until the shallots are translucent.
3. Deglaze with the red wine vinegar. Stir until the vinegar has evaporated by half.
