Ingredients for Asparagus Steak Oscar

  • 1 cup prepared bearnaise sauce (or make your own)
  • Fresh Asparagus
  • Fresh Crabmeat
  • 1/2 cup chopped garlic
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Beef Tenderloin Steaks
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

How to Make Asparagus Steak Oscar

  1. Prepare bearnaise sauce according to package directions. (If making from scratch, allow extra time)
  2. Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus. Steam asparagus spears until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped garlic and 1 pound lump crab meat. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until heated through and garlic is fragrant.
  4. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
  5. Season two (8-ounce) steaks generously with salt and pepper. Grill steaks to your desired doneness (approximately 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare).
  6. Top each steak with a generous portion of the crab mixture, followed by the steamed asparagus.
  7. Spoon a generous amount of bearnaise sauce over the crab and asparagus. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon paprika for a pop of color.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
