Filet Oscar with Crab and Asparagus
by Crab-O-Licious
We come across this wonderful steak and crab meat recipe watching a local channel that featured Chef John Howie with Seastar Restaurant & Raw Bar, here, in Washington. Being close to home, we were intrigued! It was so worth the watch!
For Easy, Homemade Hollandaise Sauce:
Directions For Hollandaise Sauce: This Hollandaise Sauce makes about 1 cup. Place a stainless steel mixing bowl into a sauce pot with simmering water, creating a double boiler. Combine the white wine, egg yolks and butter in the mixing bowl and whisk together. Heat and whisk the mixture over hot water until the butter has completely melted and the sauce has thickened. Be sure to keep whipping the sauce so not to cook the egg. Remove from the heat as often as needed so the sauce won’t stick to the bottom. Set aside and let cool slightly. Add the lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper. Hold warm until needed. Putting it all together: Season the filet with the salt and pepper. Place the filet in the sauté pan and sear, turn over and sear until both sides are golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside, let the meat rest. Heat the asparagus and crab in a steamer until warm. Place the filet on the plate, top with the heated asparagus spears, then the crab meat and top both with the hollandaise sauce. Sprinkle with a little paprika and serve this Filet Oscar with Crab and Asparagus while it's good and hot! See more crab appetizer recipe's here!

Their shells will turn bright red when properly cooked. Already cooked crab meat is widely available. Although it's often sold frozen, seek out fresh cooked crab meat for the best flavor and texture. In the months of September through April, during most crab fishing seasons is when the local fish markets often sell cooked whole crabs. Ask for them to be cleaned and cracked, or take them home crack them yourself and then remove the meat. Join our newletter "Crab Clique"
