This is a fabulous recipe that I tried in a steakhouse and re-created the recipe. It is very rich and absolutely divine!
Preparation Details
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 (7 ounce) beef tenderloin steaks
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 (6 ounce) can crab, drained
- 1 pound asparagus, tough ends snapped
- 1 packet dry Bearnaise sauce mix (such as Knorr®)
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup butter
Steps
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven’s broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter; gently stir in the crab meat, and simmer while you broil the filets.
- Broil the filets until they reach the desired stage of doneness; for medium (slightly pink in the center), broil 10 to 12 minutes on the first side and 6 minutes on the second side. Set the filets aside to rest.
- Place a steamer insert into a skillet, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness.
- Whisk Bearnaise sauce mix with milk in a saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of butter, and bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly; reduce heat to a simmer, and whisk until sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
- To assemble, top each broiled filet with crab meat, then half the asparagus; spoon Bearnaise sauce to taste over the asparagus.
