How to Make Crab Stuffed Steak With A Bearnaise Sauce

  1. **Prepare the Crab Stuffing:** Finely chop 1/2 cup celery, 1/4 cup onion, and 2 cloves garlic. Sauté in 1 tablespoon olive oil until softened (about 3 minutes). Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup crab meat. Set aside.
  2. **Butterfly the Steaks:** Carefully cut each steak horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket. Gently open and pound slightly to even thickness using a meat mallet. (Use steaks that are approximately 250-300g each).
  3. **Stuff the Steaks:** Divide the crab stuffing evenly between the two steaks, spreading it over one half. Fold the other half over the stuffing to enclose it.
  4. **Prepare for Cooking:** Spread 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish on top of each stuffed steak. Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each steak to secure.
  5. **Sear the Steaks:** Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the steaks for 2 minutes per side to brown.
  6. **Bake the Steaks:** Transfer the steaks to an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the desired level of doneness is reached.
  7. **Make the Bearnaise Sauce (Option 1: Homemade):** In a saucepan, whisk together 1 cup of bearnaise sauce base (recipe below), 200ml milk, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Season with salt, pepper and to taste.
  8. **Make the Bearnaise Sauce (Option 2: Shortcut):** In a saucepan, whisk together 1 sachet bearnaise sauce mix with 200ml milk until smooth and thickened according to package instructions.
  9. **Prepare the Asparagus:** Trim the ends of 1 bunch of asparagus. Wrap 5 spears each with 1/2 slice of bacon.
  10. **Bake the Asparagus:** Place the bacon-wrapped asparagus in the same oven-safe dish as the steaks during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  11. **Serve:** Serve the steaks over mashed potatoes (optional). Top with asparagus and drizzle generously with bearnaise sauce.
