Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Whisk Bearnaise sauce mix with milk in a saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of butter, and bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly; reduce heat to a simmer, and whisk until sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Gather the ingredients.
Step 3
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Sprinkle the filets with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan over low heat; gently stir in crab meat and simmer while you broil the beef filets.
Step 5
Broil steaks until they reach the desired stage of doneness; for medium (slightly pink in the center), broil 10 to 12 minutes on the first side and 6 minutes on the second side. Set steaks aside to rest.
Step 6
Place a steamer insert into a skillet, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add asparagus, recover, and steam until just tender, 2 to 6 minutes depending on thickness.
Step 7
To assemble, top each broiled steak filet with crab meat, then half of the asparagus. Spoon Bearnaise sauce to taste over asparagus and serve.
