BEARNAISE SAUCE
Please see recipe on page 2.
FILET OSKAR
10 ounces Filet Mignon
2 spears Asparagus, blanched
2 ounces Crab Meat
3 ounces Béarnaise Sauce
1 pinch Fesh Parsley, chopped
Grill or broil the steak to desired temperature.
Select 2 asparagus spears of approximately the same size. Cut each spear in half
and split lengthwise, trying to ensure that the pieces are approximately the same
size.
While filet is cooking, place asparagus and crabmeat in a single layer in a pie tin or
on a cookie sheet. Heat thoroughly in a 400º oven for approximately 8-10 minutes.
When the filet is cooked, remove it from the broiler or grill and slice it in half, against
the grain, and place each half on a plate.
Remove the crab meat and asparagus from the oven and place the four pieces of
asparagus halves on top of each filet half to form a squared off "#"design for the crab
to rest on. Place asparagus carefully so that it will support the crabmeat.
Place 1 ounce of crabmeat on top of asparagus on each filet half.
Pour 1-• ounces Béarnaise Sauce over top of each filet half and garnish with a
sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
