STEAK OSCAR

Steps:

• After the steak filets are grilled to the desired level, let them rest.
• Meanwhile, boil a little bit of water in an asparagus steamer pot and put the asparagus in; steam them for 4 minutes.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
