While
Bev was hanging out in Gatlinburg, I read the post from Catherine Mayhew for
Grilled T-Bone Steaks with Crab and Hollandaise on the Char-Broil Live site and
decided this would make a delicious Valentine’s Day meal. Then I remembered the whole beef fillet in
our freezer and decided it would work well for this meal, so out it came for
thawing and trimming.
We
also had a package of King Crab in the freezer to use for that part and we
decided on some asparagus and a Caesar Salad to round out the meal. This is the amended recipe as we made it.
Grilled
beef Filet with Crab and Hollandaise Sauce – Adapted from Char-Broil Live
Ingredients:
5 Filet
steaks, 1½“ thick
1 pound
King Crab legs, meat removed and roughly chopped
For
the hollandaise sauce:
2
egg yolks
1½ tablespoons
fresh lemon juice
½ teaspoon
salt
¼ teaspoon
pepper
Pinch
of cayenne pepper
6
tablespoons butter
One
bunch asparagus, trimmed and steamed until just tender
Directions:
1. Preheat
the grill to medium high.
2. Let
the steaks come to room temperature and season with your favorite seasoning –
Montreal Steak for us.
3. Warm
the crab in a small skillet on low heat with 2 tablespoons butter and reserve.
4. To
make the hollandaise sauce, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, pepper and
cayenne pepper to a blender and blend for 5-10 seconds. Melt the butter and,
with the blender running, slowly stream the melted butter through the top of the
lid. Taste and adjust the seasonings. The hollandaise can hold at room
temperature for at least 30 minutes.
5, Grill
the steaks to you desired level of doneness, remove to a platter, and loosely
cover them with aluminum foil for 10 minutes to rest.
6. Top
the steaks with some of the hollandaise a few spears of asparagus, the warm
crab, and a little parmesan.
It
was a delicious meal for me and the four Valentine ladies who shared it with
me. And to show that I’m not the only
one who can whip up a breakfast form leftovers, this was Sunday’s meal ALA Bev. We had combined the leftover Hollandaise and crab so the meal was comprised if toasted English muffin, over easy eggs, nuked asparagus, and the crab/sauce.
Needless to say, it was delicious.

Dinner looks fabulous, and breakfast looks equally wonderful. I'm sure you're glad to have Bev home.
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious... Sounds like everyone had a great Valentine's Day-weekend.... We enjoyed our couple of days in Gatlinburg also...
ReplyDeleteI still say that you two need to publish a cookbook with all of the breakfasts --made from left-overs.
Hugs,
Betsy
When are you going to open your first restaurant? I do believe you would make a fortune and end up on Triple D! Lovely meal Larry and fantastic breakfast.
ReplyDeleteThat's the way to cook! It all looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI made the same meal for my sweetheart, last Valentine's Day. The blender hollandaise sauce is super easy to make-- albeit fattening. But, once in a while, who cares? What a perfect meal.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had seen this on Valentine's day...!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Larry, you have me practically drooling all over my keyboard. What a fantastic combination of ingredients and a perfect Valentine's Day dinner. The crab eggs benedict is pretty amazing too. What a feast.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like a perfect meal to me. AND, it was warm enough to grill here on Valentines Day.... could you not have picked up the phone and simply said "Grilled steaks, crab, hollandaise sauce, asparagus, Caesar" ....
ReplyDeleteFantastic meal Larry. You guys eat well indeed. We will miss being with you at the Blogger party this year.
ReplyDeleteYour two meals were definitely way better than anything you could have gotten at a restaurant over the busy Valentine's weekend. They both look great.
