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 Béarnaise 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 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.

STEAK OSCAR WITH KING CRAB, HOLLANDAISE SAUCE AND SAUTEED ASPARAGUS



Steak Oscar with King Crab, Hollandaise Sauce and Sauteed Asparagus image

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.

CRAB STUFFED STEAK WITH A BEARNAISE SAUCE



Crab Stuffed Steak With a Bearnaise Sauce image

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.

Time 50m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 steak fillets, thick ones
1 teaspoon horseradish
4 slices bacon
2 medium king crab legs (read description above.)
2 green onions, sliced thinly
1 small celery rib, cut in half, then chopped thinly
olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
20 baby asparagus spears
4 slices bacon
1 (23 g) sachet bearnaise sauce mix (mine was 23g sachet made up 300ml, I added 200ml of milk and made up the last 100ml of liquid from t)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 teaspoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 dash Tabasco sauce
50 ml cream, full fat (I used reduced fat.) or 50 ml light cream (I used reduced fat.)
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
2 teaspoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Make stuffing.
  • Remove crab from legs, break meat up.
  • 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.

STEAKS WITH SHERRIED CRAB CREAM



Steaks With Sherried Crab Cream image

I fix this every Christmas. It's not just for special occasions, because it tastes so good you'll want it anytime. Easy to fix, delicious to eat. I cannot remember where the recipe originated, but I found it in a newspaper long ago. My clipping got so frayed that I typed it up so that I wouldn't lose it forever.

Provided by The Big Cheese

Categories     Crab

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon sherry wine (not cooking sherry)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless beef steaks, cut of choice (about one pound total, see note)
6 ounces pasteurized jumbo lump crab meat
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the butter in a 2 cup glass measure and microwave uncovered at high until almost melted, about 45 seconds. Meanwhile, separate the eggs yolks into a small dish and reserve the whites for another use. Beat the yolks well with a fork. Remove the butter from the microwave and stir until completely melted.
  • Stir the yolks, cream and sherry into the butter. Microwave the mixture at high, uncovered, for 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds with a fork. When done, the sauce will be slightly thick and will register 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Do not overcook or the sauce will curdle. Remove the sauce from the microwave, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
  • To cook the steaks (see note) heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet at medium-high. Add the steaks and begin to cook until they reach the desired degree of doneness, turning halfway through cooking. NOTE: I use 4 ounce, 1-1/2 inch thick filet mignons to medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • While the steaks cook, drain the crab meat and add it to the reserved sauce. Add the lemon juice and stir well. When the steaks are almost done, warm the sauce in the microwave, uncovered, on high for about 1 minute, stirring at 30 seconds.
  • To serve, pour about 2/3 cup sauce over each steak.
