Crab Topped Oysters With A Bearnaise Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or 2-quart gratin dish with olive oil.
• In a large bowl, stir together all of the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Transfer mixture to baking dish. Bake until hot and golden brown, about 45 minutes. Serve hot or warm with crackers or bread.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Place the steak onto a sheet tray lined with a rack and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and cook until the temperature registers 115 to 120 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
• Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Toss the asparagus with the olive oil and kosher salt and pepper to taste. Place onto the grill and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook until the asparagus is tender but still has some texture, another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the grill and slice on a bias into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with the lemon zest and juice and kosher salt and pepper to taste.
• To serve, plate the steak and top with the stone crab meat. Smother with the Breezy Béarnaise Sauce. Serve alongside the lemony asparagus. Garnish with flaky sea salt.
• Slowly melt the butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan with the shallot and 2 sprigs of the tarragon. Once fully melted, keep warm and let steep for 5 minutes. Discard the tarragon sprigs.
• Place the white wine vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and egg yolks into a blender and blend until just combined, about 10 seconds. While the blender is still running, slowly stream in the warm, melted butter through the top hole until thickened, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the chopped leaves of the remaining tarragon and adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice and kosher salt to taste if needed.

Steps:

• For the lobster: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the middle of the tops of the lobster shells with kitchen shears all the way down to the bottoms of the tails. (Be careful not to cut the lobster meat.) Carefully loosen the meat from the shells. Cut a slit lengthwise down the meat of each.
• Combine the butter and lemon zest in a bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, seafood seasoning and egg. Fold in the crackers and crabmeat. Stuff the crab mixture into the slits in the lobster tails. Brush the crab and lobster with the melted butter.
• Place the lobster tails on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the lobster turns opaque and is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and broil until the crab stuffing is browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the blender béarnaise sauce: Combine the wine, vinegar, shallot and 1 tablespoon of the tarragon in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
• Place the egg yolks in a blender and add the cooled wine mixture. Purée for 30 seconds.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. With the blender running, pour the melted butter through the blender top, blending until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Remove from the blender and stir in the remaining tablespoon tarragon and season with salt and pepper. Set aside. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it stands.)
• Serve the béarnaise sauce with the lobster tails.
