• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 2  beef tenderloin fillets, cooked to desired level
• 1⁄2 lb fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
• 1  tablespoon butter
• 4  ounces fresh crabmeat (substitute lobster)
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 1⁄2 cup  bearnaise sauce
• 1  pinch mild paprika (for garnish)

Directions

1. After the steak filets are grilled to the desired level, let them rest.
2. Meanwhile, boil a little bit of water in an asparagus steamer pot and put the asparagus in; steam them for 4 minutes.
3. During the same time, in a small skillet over medium heat, add butter. When melted and it starts sizzling, add the crab meat, stir well and heat it through, about 2 ½ to 3 minutes. To this, add freshly squeezed lemon juice, give it a quick stir and let it cook for only 1 minute.
4. To assemble: Place steak on a warm plate followed by mashed potatoes. Add a fair amount of crab meat on the top center of the steak keeping the larger pieces for later.
5. Spoon on the Béarnaise sauce carefully before placing 2 to 3 asparagus spears over – cut them to match for a neater presentation so they don’t hang over the edge.
6. Add more crab meat on top – it’s always good to keep the bigger pieces for this – and for the final touch, add a tiny pinch of paprika.
