Ingredients
UnitsScale
2 (8 oz) filet mignon steaks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 asparagus spears, trimmed
4oz lump crab meat
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2cup Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
Season the filet mignon steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
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.
Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
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.
Warm the Béarnaise or Hollandaise sauce according to package instructions or recipe.
To assemble, place the steak on a plate, top with asparagus spears, then spoon warm crab meat over the top. Drizzle with sauce.
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.
