Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 4 ounces filet mignon
- 4 snow crab legs
- Slices of lemon
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions:
Step one: Take the steak out of the fridge one hour before cooking. Place the steak on a paper towel during this time
Step two: Heat a large pot with water – enough water to cook the crab legs. Heat a medium pan with olive oil on medium-high heat. Heavily season the steak with salt and pepper
Step three: Once the pan is hot enough that you see heat rising from the pan, add the steak. Do not move the steak for three minutes. Once the pot of water is boiling, add the crab legs
Step four: Add butter to the pan. Let it melt for a few seconds. Flip the steak. Tilt the pan to one side and use a spoon to baste the steak with butter. Allow this side of the steak to cook for three minutes
Step five: Using a thermometer, check the steak’s temp. Remove the steak if the temperature is 125 (medium center)
Step six: Remove crab legs from the water, and pat the outside dry with a paper towel. Serve the steak and crab legs immediately, with lemon slices and melted butter.
Notes: This dish is best with a side of Caesar salad and balsamic glazed mushrooms.
