Instructions
- Take your asparagus, wash it, and place it in a microwaveable dish with a bit of water to steam them. Put it in the microwave and get it ready to go.
- Open and drain your can of crab meat. If there are any cartilage bits in the can, remove them.
- Place in a bowl and set aside for heating later.
- In a dish large enough to flour your steaks in, put your salt,pepper and flour in and mix it together.
- Now. If you want your steak done more than rare, you need to take a mallet to them, and flatten them some. You can cook it the thickness of my two steaks to a medium rare, but it takes longer and you risk burning or overdoing the outside. I like my steak very rare, so I left mine thick.
- Flour all sides of your steak.
- Take your butter and melt in in the pan with the oil.
- Put them into the butter/oil mixture and start them cooking, about 5 minutes per side, or to your preferred doneness.
- While they are cooking, take your butter for your Hollandaise sauce.
- Put it into a small pot, and put it onto a medium heat burner, you want to slowly bring it to the point where it is steaming.
- Time to start your asparagus! Get that microwave a cookin’.
- While your butter is melting, and your asparagus steaming, take your eggs and put them into the blender.
- Add your lemon juice.
- Time to add in your hot sauce as well, and shake a little salt in there if you so desire.
- Now, it might just be time to flip those steaks, so go ahead and do so.
- Your butter should now be steaming hot, so grab it and if I were you, transfer it to a measuring cup.
- Start the blender, then slowly pour the hot butter into the blender, adding it all in a slow stream until it’s completely in there and mixed up. You are cooking those egg yolks!
- Take out your asparagus, and put the bowl of crab into the microwave now, and heat that up for less than a minute. It takes no time at all to heat.
- Place 4 spears of asparagus across each steak.
- Take your crab, which is heated by now, and place some on top of the asparagus.
- Top it all off with glorious Hollandaise sauce, grind some fresh pepper on top, and serve!
