Blender Bearnaise Sauce

My Bearnaise Sauce recipe is a tasty and nutritious addition to any steak dinner. Whether you use grass-fed butter or ghee, you're going to benefit from fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K2 (the bio-available form) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is a healthy fat that aids in weight loss and supports the immune system. Ghee is lactose and casein free-a great option for dairy-free folks.
