Filets And Crab With Béarnaise Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 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.

• Season the sauce with salt and pepper and a little cayenne pepper if using.
• Heat grill to high heat.
• Coat the grade with vegetable oil.
• Grill steaks on high for about 5 minutes on each side or to your desired doneness.

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Season the sea bass with salt and pepper; arrange in a baking dish and set aside.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the shallots, garlic, and parsley in the melted butter and olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir continually until completely incorporated into the mixture and the liquid is smooth. Pour the half-and-half into the mixture while stirring; cook and stir until thickened. Season with the white pepper. Gently fold the crawfish tails and crabmeat into the mixture, taking care to not break the crabmeat too much; cook another 1 minute. Spoon the mixture over the sea bass fillets.

If at any time the sauce looks like it is separating, remove the pan from the heat and continue whisking to cool it down. Set the sauce aside at room temperature.Sear the filets over Direct High heat for 10 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.
