Jessica's Broiled Steak with Crab and Asparagus
Ingredients
  • 2 (7 ounce) beef tenderloin steaks
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 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
  • 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary ingredients.
2
Preheat your oven's broiler and position the oven rack approximately 6 inches away from the heat source. Season the filets with salt and pepper.
3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter; carefully combine the crab meat, and gently simmer while you cook the filets.
4
Cook the filets until they reach your desired level of doneness; for medium (slightly pink in the center), cook 10 to 12 minutes on the first side and 6 minutes on the second side. Remove the filets from the heat and let them rest.
5
Insert a steamer basket 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.
6
Combine the 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 the sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
7
To assemble, place a portion of each broiled filet on a plate, then top with crab meat; add half the asparagus and spoon Bearnaise sauce to your liking over the asparagus.
