Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Place the steak onto a sheet tray lined with a rack and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and cook until the temperature registers 115 to 120 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
- Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and kosher salt and pepper to taste. Place onto the grill and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook until the asparagus is tender but still has some texture, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and slice on a bias into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with the lemon zest and juice and kosher salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, plate the steak and top with the stone crab meat. Smother with the Breezy Béarnaise Sauce. Serve alongside the lemony asparagus. Garnish with flaky sea salt.
- Slowly melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan with the shallot and 2 sprigs of the tarragon. Once fully melted, keep warm and let steep for 5 minutes. Discard the tarragon sprigs.
- Place the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and egg yolks into a blender and blend until just combined, about 10 seconds. While the blender is still running, slowly stream in the warm, melted butter through the top hole until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the chopped leaves of the remaining tarragon and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice and kosher salt to taste if needed.
CRAB-STUFFED LOBSTER TAILS WITH BLENDER BEARNAISE SAUCE
Nothing makes me feel more fancy than lobster, and these lobster tails-stuffed with a crab cake mix-are sensational. And, since I'm a self-proclaimed sauce girl, I like to serve my Blender Béarnaise sauce over the top. That's right-I've made homemade béarnaise sauce easier than ever, so if you've been shy about making it, you should give this method a try!

Steps:
- For the lobster: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the middle of the tops of the lobster shells with kitchen shears all the way down to the bottoms of the tails. (Be careful not to cut the lobster meat.) Carefully loosen the meat from the shells. Cut a slit lengthwise down the meat of each.
- Combine the butter and lemon zest in a bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning and egg. Fold in the crackers and crabmeat. Stuff the crab mixture into the slits in the lobster tails. Brush the crab and lobster with the melted butter.
- Place the lobster tails on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the lobster turns opaque and is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the crab stuffing is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the blender béarnaise sauce: Combine the wine, vinegar, shallot and 1 tablespoon of the tarragon in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
- Place the egg yolks in a blender and add the cooled wine mixture. Purée for 30 seconds.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. With the blender running, pour the melted butter through the blender top, blending until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Remove from the blender and stir in the remaining tablespoon tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it stands.)
- Serve the béarnaise sauce with the lobster tails.

CRAB TOPPED OYSTERS WITH A BEARNAISE SAUCE
Please Note: My prep time includes for opening the oysters, prep time will be less is buying oysters already on the half shell. I went to my fish market last weekend and bought some king crab legs, to make crab stuffed ostrich, the legs were huge and when I removed all the meat I realized there was far too much meat for just the ostrich I had. I had also bought some oysters as my niece loves them and she was coming over, I had planned on making oysters kilpatrick and mornay to start, when I realized I had so much crab I changed my mind and made crab topped oyster instead.

CRAB STUFFED STEAK WITH A BEARNAISE SAUCE
I came up with this one the other week as I had bought some king crab legs from the supermarket as they had them not only on special but actually in stock. They were of a medium size no where near the size of the ones I bought when I made my stuffed Ostrich loin as I was only stuffing 2 steaks this time. I did fill them quite full and I bought very thick cut steaks I would guess they would have been between 250-300g a piece. I say that as I do not know the exact weight of them as silly me took them out of the pack and threw it away and forgot to look at the weight to write down as I usually do so I have it for when I post. I guess just judge from the photo as to what you would need, mine was the smaller of the 2 steaks my husbands was thicker. I also used a sachet of bearnaise sauce to make the recipe quicker, you can make your own if you prefer.

- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan, add celery and onion cook 1 minute, add garlic cook for a further 2 minutes stirring or until celery and onion soften.
- Add parsley, pepper and crab, stir to combine, remove and set to one side.
- Steaks.
- Cut steak horizontally through the middle being careful not cut all the way through. Open steak out so it is butterflied, take a meat mallet and pound to flaten slightly.
- Divide stuffing mix between the 2 steaks, placing it on one half of the steak, fold the remaining half over the top.
- Spread half a teaspoon of horseradish over the top of each steak, wrap 2 bacon rashers around each one to secure.
- Cook steaks in a hot pan 2 minutes each side to brown, Place steaks in oven proof dish and cook in a pre-heated oven of 180 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes depending on how thick they are for a nice pink centre.
- Sauce.
- Pour bearnaise into a saucepan, add 200ml of milk whisk to combine, heat stirring until sauce starts to thicken.
- Add sauce, juice, wine, vinegar, Tabasco, cream and herbs, cooking stirring until mixture thickens. Sauce can be left on a warm stove to keep warm, just stir occasionally.
- Asparagus.
- Trim ends of asparagus, take 5 spears and wrap a slice of bacon around to secure, repeat with remaining asparagus and bacon.
- Place in an oiled oven proof dish and cook for 10 minutes. They are cooked at the same temp as the steak so I just pop them in when the steaks have 10 more minutes to go.
- To Serve: I served mine over mash, topped with the steak, place asparagus on top and drizzle with sauce.
