How To Make estragon geschnetzeltes in rahm (tarragon ragout)

  • 1
    Cut the pork or chicken into thin, 2- to 3-inch strips. Melt the butter in a skillet and brown the meat. Add the minced shallots when the meat is cooked halfway.
  • 2
    When the meat is no longer pink, add the wine and cook to reduce by 1/3. Add tarragon. Add the cream and cook until sauce is further reduced by 1/3. Taste the sauce, and season with salt and pepper.
  • 3
    Serve over noodles or over boiled or mashed potatoes.

    NOTE: Reducing a liquid is mostly guesswork. Simmer, uncovered, until it appears to be 1/3 less than it was before.
