Steaks With Sherried Crab Cream Recipes

STEAKS WITH CRAB SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the rosemary, salt and pepper; rub over steaks. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook steaks in oil until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°), 5-8 minutes on each side., Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch and wine or broth until smooth. Stir in the cream, mustard, horseradish, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in crab; heat through. Serve over steaks.

STEAK OSCAR WITH STONE CRAB AND BREEZY BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Place the steak onto a sheet tray lined with a rack and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and cook until the temperature registers 115 to 120 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and kosher salt and pepper to taste. Place onto the grill and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook until the asparagus is tender but still has some texture, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and slice on a bias into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with the lemon zest and juice and kosher salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, plate the steak and top with the stone crab meat. Smother with the Breezy Béarnaise Sauce. Serve alongside the lemony asparagus. Garnish with flaky sea salt.
• Slowly melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan with the shallot and 2 sprigs of the tarragon. Once fully melted, keep warm and let steep for 5 minutes. Discard the tarragon sprigs.
• Place the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and egg yolks into a blender and blend until just combined, about 10 seconds. While the blender is still running, slowly stream in the warm, melted butter through the top hole until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the chopped leaves of the remaining tarragon and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice and kosher salt to taste if needed.

STEAKS WITH SHERRIED CRAB CREAM

Steps:

• Place the butter in a 2 cup glass measure and microwave uncovered at high until almost melted, about 45 seconds. Meanwhile, separate the eggs yolks into a small dish and reserve the whites for another use. Beat the yolks well with a fork. Remove the butter from the microwave and stir until completely melted.
• Stir the yolks, cream and sherry into the butter. Microwave the mixture at high, uncovered, for 1 minute and 15 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds with a fork. When done, the sauce will be slightly thick and will register 140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer. Do not overcook or the sauce will curdle. Remove the sauce from the microwave, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
• To cook the steaks (see note) heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet at medium-high. Add the steaks and begin to cook until they reach the desired degree of doneness, turning halfway through cooking. NOTE: I use 4 ounce, 1-1/2 inch thick filet mignons to medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• While the steaks cook, drain the crab meat and add it to the reserved sauce. Add the lemon juice and stir well. When the steaks are almost done, warm the sauce in the microwave, uncovered, on high for about 1 minute, stirring at 30 seconds.
• To serve, pour about 2/3 cup sauce over each steak.
