Ingredients
– 2 ribeye or filet mignon steaks (about 1-inch thick)
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup lump crab meat, picked over for shells
– 1 cup béarnaise sauce (homemade or store-bought)
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Creating Oscar Style Steak can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Steak: Take the steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This helps them cook evenly.
2. Season the Steaks: Generously season both sides of the steaks with salt and black pepper.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4. Sear the Steaks: Place the steaks in the hot pan and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your preferred doneness.
5. Rest the Steaks: Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
6. Heat the Crab: While the steaks are resting, gently warm the crab meat in the same skillet for about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook it.
7. Prepare the Sauce: If using homemade béarnaise sauce, prepare it according to your recipe. If using store-bought, gently heat it in a saucepan.
8. Plate the Dish: On each plate, place a steak, top it with warm crab meat, and drizzle with béarnaise sauce.
9. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Following these steps will ensure that your Oscar Style Steak turns out perfectly every time.
