Oscar Style Steak

Oscar Style Steak is a luxurious dish featuring a juicy steak topped with lump crab meat, asparagus, and a rich Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 (8 oz) filet mignon steaks
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 6 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 4 oz lump crab meat
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
  3. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a small skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Gently warm the lump crab meat with lemon juice for 2-3 minutes. Do not overcook.
  5. Warm the Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce according to package instructions or recipe.
  6. To assemble, place the steak on a plate, top with asparagus spears, then spoon warm crab meat over the top. Drizzle with sauce.
  7. Serve immediately with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • Use fresh lump crab meat for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute ribeye or strip steak for filet mignon if preferred.
  • Hollandaise sauce is a simpler alternative to Béarnaise and works well too.
  • Make sure the crab is just warmed through to avoid drying it out.
