This is the complete version of the dish; a cut-off version with an ingredient list appears on page 230. The sauce was strained through a cloth in the book and kept lukewarm in a water bath.
Prepare the meat
Dry the meat with a cloth and cut it into finger-thick slices. Pound the slices lightly and rub with pepper and salt.
Fry bread and meat
Cut the French bread into 1 cm slices without crust and fry them golden brown in 120 g butter. Brown the meat in the remaining 120 g butter and fry 3–4 minutes on each side. Place the meat on the bread slices. Deglaze the pan with the bouillon; it can be used in the sauce.
Make the sauce
Boil the onion, vinegar, pepper and salt down to ¾ of the volume. Take the pot off the heat and whisk in the egg yolks, then let it thicken over the heat while whisking vigorously. Add the melted, cooled butter little by little. Strain the sauce through a cloth and whisk in the chopped tarragon, cayenne and stock. Warm the sauce in a water bath until lukewarm.
Serve
Pour the sauce over the meat and garnish the dish with asparagus and a little fresh parsley. Serve at once.
Note
Note: the egg yolks are only lightly heated; use fresh eggs. If the sauce is heated too much it will curdle.
The text gives no quantities except 120 g butter twice, so the other ingredients have no figures. «Hases i» is rendered as whisking in; «trekker igjen» is interpreted as thickening over the heat.

Note on Modernised
Teksten har ingen mengder utenom 120 g smør to ganger, så de øvrige ingrediensene står uten tall. «Hases i» er gjengitt som å vispe i; «trekker igjen» er tolket som å tykne på varmen.
