Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Four 1.5-inch center-cut filet mignon steaks
Kosher salt
1 cup clarified unsalted butter
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
6 black peppercorns, crushed
3 sprigs thyme
1 bay leaf
1 shallot, finely diced
2 large egg yolks
1/2 lemon, juiced
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 king crab legs, meat removed and diced into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1/2 small bunch chives, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Season the steaks liberally with salt and set aside to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Melt the clarified butter in a small saucepan over low heat. To a small saute pan, add the white wine vinegar, black peppercorns, thyme, bay leaf, 1/3 of the shallots and 2 tablespoons water. Turn on the heat to medium and cook until the liquid has mostly reduced, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add 3 to 4 ice cubes and swirl the pan to fully melt the ice and cool down the mixture.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Strain the shallot mixture into a large, heatproof bowl. Add the egg yolks and lemon juice and whisk until the yolks are pale yellow and foamy. Set the bowl over the pot of boiling water to create a double boiler, making sure the bottom of the bowl is not touching the water. Reduce the heat to low. Whisk the eggs vigorously until frothy, fluffy and starting to thicken slightly. Very slowly, a drop at a time, add the clarified butter while continuing to whisk, until the sauce is thickened but still flows; it should coat the back of a spoon. If the bowl gets too hot or the eggs look like they're in danger of scrambling, immediately pull off the bowl from the heat and add an ice cube to cool it down, then return to the heat. Season to taste with salt. If the sauce gets too thick, you can add a little water to thin it out. Remove the bowl from the water but reserve the pot of water to blanch the asparagus later.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until the oil shimmers. Add the steaks and sear, without touching the steak, until deep golden brown and crusty, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, and then sear until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees F for medium rare, another 5 minutes. Remove the steak and allow it to rest.
  • Discard most of the excess olive oil from the pan, then return to medium heat. Add another 1/3 of the shallots, salt to taste and a splash of water to deglaze the bottom of the pan. Add the crabmeat and toss in the pan until just warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Season the reserved boiling water generously with salt. It should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with salt. Add the asparagus to the boiling water and cook until bright green and tender but still slightly crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately plunge the asparagus into the ice bath and set aside.
  • Heat a medium saute pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining shallots. Saute until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the asparagus and toss until warmed through. Season with salt to taste.
  • To serve, plate the steak and top with the crabmeat. Smother with the hollandaise sauce and garnish with chives. Serve alongside the asparagus.

Steak Oscar with Stone Crab and Breezy Bearnaise Sauce image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Four 3-inch center-cut filets mignons
Kosher salt and coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 bunch asparagus, tough ends trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
8 stone crab claws, meat removed, shells discarded
Breezy BĂ©arnaise Sauce, recipe follows, for serving
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced shallot
3 sprigs fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice, plus more if needed
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 large egg yolks
Kosher salt, optional

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 BĂ©arnaise 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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. Ribeye, New York strip, and filet mignon are all good choices for this recipe.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness. Medium-rare is a good option for most people, but you can cook it to whatever doneness you like.
  • Make sure the crab sauce is hot when you serve it. This will help to keep the steak warm and juicy.
  • Garnish the steak with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Steak with crab sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of the tender steak and the rich, creamy crab sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook steak, give this recipe a try.
