Ingredients
- 2 6 oz. Bison Filet Mignon
- 12 fresh asparagus spears
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil – divided
- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter – divided
- 2 tsp. Salt – divided
- 2 tsp. cracked pepper – divided
- 6 oz can crab meat
- 1 package Béarnaise sauce
- 1 cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut the ends off of the asparagus spears and lay flat on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. olive oil and season with 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. cracked pepper. Bake for 10-13 minutes, just until slightly soft but still crunchy. Remove from oven and set aside to keep warm.
Step 2
In a cast-iron skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. butter over medium-high heat. Season the filets with salt and cracked pepper, then add to the skillet and sear each side for 1 minute. Reduce heat down to medium and cook for an additional 3-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired internal temperature. Bison filet mignon is best served medium-rare, pulling off heat around 130 degrees F. Transfer steaks to a plate to rest, keeping warm.
Step 3
While the steaks are resting, make the béarnaise sauce according to package directions. Then, add the can of lump crab meat to the sauce.
Step 4
To plate and serve, place half the asparagus spears on each plate, then top with the bison filet mignon. Then top with the crab béarnaise sauce and serve immediately.
Options and Alternatives:
- Use canned crab meat, not artificial.
- Hollandaise sauce can be swapped in for the béarnaise sauce.
- We made it easy by using a package sauce mix, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can always make the sauce yourself!
