How to Make Asparagus Steak Oscar
- Prepare bearnaise sauce according to package directions. (If making from scratch, allow extra time)
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus. Steam asparagus spears until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- 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.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.
- 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).
- Top each steak with a generous portion of the crab mixture, followed by the steamed asparagus.
- Spoon a generous amount of bearnaise sauce over the crab and asparagus. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon paprika for a pop of color.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
