A sumptuous dish that beautifully marries the rich flavors of steak with delicate crab cakes, topped with a luxurious garlic cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces filet mignon or sirloin steaks
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 (6-ounce) can of lump crab, drained
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 green onion, chopped
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Creole or Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced (for the sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tablespoon flour or arrowroot (optional, to thicken)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steaks: Allow your steaks to reach room temperature for about 15 minutes. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, adding a tablespoon of olive oil. Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Allow to rest under foil for 10 minutes.
  2. Make the crab cakes: In a mixing bowl, combine drained crab meat, almond flour (or all-purpose flour), beaten egg, green onion, minced garlic, and seasoning. Form the mixture into patties. Cook in a skillet with heated olive oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes each side. Place a crab cake atop each steak.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In the same pan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic and shallots until soft. Gradually add whipping cream, whisking in mustard and lemon juice. Season, and if necessary, thicken with flour or arrowroot.

Notes

Use high-quality steak and crab for the best flavor. Consider pairing with fresh herbs or a vibrant salad.
