Ingredients:

  • 4 (1 1/4- to 1 1/2-lb) live lobsters
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp dry vermouth
  • 1 tbsp tarragon white-wine vinegar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions:

  1. Cook lobsters: Bring water and sea salt to a boil in an 8- to 10-quart pot. Plunge 2 lobsters headfirst into water and cook, covered, over high heat 7 minutes from time lobsters enter water, then transfer with tongs to sink to drain. Return water to a boil and cook remaining 2 lobsters in same manner.
  2. Make sauce while lobsters cook and drain: Melt butter and cool until just warm.
  3. Whisk together vermouth, vinegar, and yolks in a metal bowl, then set bowl over a small saucepan of boiling water and heat mixture, whisking, until warm. Add melted butter in a slow stream, whisking, then whisk in salt and pepper. Cook sauce, whisking, until thickened and registers 160°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and keep bowl in saucepan. Just before serving, stir in lemon juice and tarragon.
  4. Working from belly side, halve each lobster lengthwise with a sharp heavy knife or kitchen shears. Serve lobsters with sauce.
