This elegant Oscar Style Steak recipe brings steakhouse-quality dining home. A tender filet is topped with lump crab & tarragon butter sauce.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 2 portions 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper, crushed
  • 2-6 oz Chairman’s Reserve Platinum® Angus beef filets
  • 4 oz butter
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 C white wine
  • juice from 1 lemon (approx. 2 tbsp)
  • 1 oz fresh tarragon
  • 8 oz lump crab meat

Instructions

  1. Prepare steaks by sprinkling salt on all sides of steak and allow to set.
  2. Heat grill to 400°F.
  3. Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. 
  4. Add 2 garlic cloves to butter and then using a pastry brush brush both sides of steak with the garlic butter.
  5. Turn off heat and add white wine along with lemon juice.
  6. Remove tarragon leaves from stems and coarsely chop and add them to butter mixture.
  7. Place steaks on grill and cook to desired doneness.
  8. Remove from grill and place on a plate and cover with foil.
  9. To assemble, remove steak from foil and place on serving dish.
  10. In a small bowl place crab meat along with 3 tbsp butter wine mixture and lightly toss to mix.
  11. Using a biscuit mold, top steaks equally with crab mixture.
  12. Spoon remaining butter mixture over steaks and crab.
  13. Garnish with fresh tarragon and serve with mashed potatoes, baby broccoli, or sautéed asparagus.

Notes

  • Build layers of flavor: Save a spoonful of tarragon butter to drizzle over the crab just before serving for that glossy, steakhouse finish. 
  • Use a hot grill: Heat the grill to at least 400°F so the steaks sear quickly and develop those beautiful grill marks without overcooking.
  • Let the steaks rest: After grilling, cover loosely with foil for a few minutes to lock in the juices before topping with crab.
