DIY Mayonnaise

There are a few items you buy from the grocery store that quickly become staples in the home. Items like ketchup, mustard and  mayonnaise are popular items that are almost always found in the fridge. The downside is we tend to use these products on a regular basis and they can run out quick. Not to mention having to buy these staples on a regular basis at the grocery store, so what is the solution? Well, if you are looking to save some money, why not try making your own mayonnaise? It’s simple, doesn’t take much time and will save you money by making it at home! Check out the recipe below for how to make DIY mayonnaise:

Ingredients Needed:

**All ingredients should be room temperature for best results.

  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3 Teaspoon Of Lemon Juice
  • 1 1/3 Cups Of Oil (Olive, Vegetable or Canola)
  • 1 Tablespoon Of Mustard (Dijon works best)

Instructions:

  1. Start by adding the egg and mustard to your food processor. Mix these two until completely combined.
  2. Reduce processor speed to slow and slowly start to add oil until mixture is completely combined and smooth.
  3. Continue to add lemon juice and mix until mixture is completely smooth. Add seasoning to your preference (Salt,pepper,paprika etc.)
  4. Store your homemade mayonnaise in an air tight jar and use as needed!

It’s simple, doesn’t take much time and will save you money by making it at home! Check out the recipe below for how to make DIY mayonnaise:

  • 1 Large Egg
  • 3 Teaspoon Of Lemon Juice
  • 1 1/3 Cups Of Oil (Olive, Vegetable or Canola)
  • 1 Tablespoon Of Mustard (Dijon works best)

Filet Mignon Bites with Bernaise Sauce

(Print this recipe at the very bottom of this page)

What you need:

  • 1/2 Onion finely diced
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 2 tsp Lemon juice
  • 2 sticks Butter
  • 1 tsp Tarragon
  • 1 tsp Chervil
  • 3 tbsp White Wine
  • 3 lb Beef Tenderloin
  • 1 lb Bacon

What to do:

  1. Finely chop the onion so that it doesn’t overpower the sauce.
  2. Cook the chopped onion for 1 minute in the microwave to soften it.
  3. Place the egg yolks in a saucepan and add the lemon juice and stir until the mixture is blended.
  4. Add the first stick of butter sliced into pats and cook over very low heat stirring constantly until melted in.
  5. Then add the next stick in the same fashion continuing to stir constantly.
  6. This process takes awhile because we want the egg butter mixture to cook together.
  7. If the heat is too high or you don’t stir enough, the eggs will begin to cook on their own and the sauce will “break”. You’ll know if/when this happens because you’ll see lumps or curdles forming in your sauce.
  8. If all goes according to plan, your sauce will begin to thicken and reach the point where it begins to look like a thin pudding. You’ll see the line the spoon left after you drag it across the bottom.
  9. Take the sauce off the heat, add the onions, tarragon and chervil. and mix well.
  10. Add the wine (if you don’t have wine, you can substitute 2 tsp lemon juice and 2 tbsp water) and blend well.
  11. Cut the tenderloin into 1″ cubes.
  12. Take the bacon slices and cut each piece in thirds.
  13. Wrap each filet bite in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  14. Heat a heavy skillet on high and sear each bite on all sides.
  15. Transfer seared pieces to broiler pan and place in 350 oven for 15 minutes.
  16. Serve filet bites with bernaise sauce.
