Sirloin Steak Topped with Lump Crab Served with White Asparagus and Hollandaise Sauce

This is an amazing recipe. It is a little indulgent but well worth it. This is a recipe for 2. If more is desired, just double the ingredients.

                          
Ingredients

• 2, 5oz sirloin steaks (I use grass-fed beef)
• 1 tbsp. of olive oil
• 10 leaves of basil
• 1/2 a shallot (chopped)
• 1 bunch of white asparagus
• 1/2 pack of lump crab meat (about 4 oz)
• salt
• pepper

For Sauce

• 4 egg yolks
• 3/4 stick of salted butter
• 2 tbsp. of lemon juice
• 3 tbsp. of cooking wine
• 2 tbsp. of capers

Instructions
I recommend starting with the sauce

1. You are going to need a double boiler for this process. Use the top bowl for all ingredients.
2. Separate eggs and place 4 egg yolks in bowl. Whisk well.
3. Add lemon juice and place bowl over the boiling water. Whisk constantly
4. Gradually add butter and continue to whisk
5. Begin to add wine gradually as well.
6. Once all wine and butter has been added, add the capers and allow to simmer for a couple minutes without ceasing to whisk.
7. Place in bowl, cover, and set aside.

Next you should marinate the steaks

1. Wash well and dry
2. Add desired amount of salt
3. Place olive oil on hands and rub steaks
4. Chop 8 of the 10 leaves of basil and rub onto the steaks
5. Add desired amount of freshly grated pepper

You may begin to grill the steaks at this point or wait until other items are completed.

To make asparagus

1. Place in a shallow pan with enough water to cover half of the asparagus. 
2. Boil for about 7 minutes.
3. Once done drain 

For crab topping

1. Place small amount of olive oil on a pan. Heat.
2. Add in chopped shallot and cook until brown
3. Add lump crab meat and remainder of basil. Allow to brown.
4. Once brown add about 3 spoonfuls of hollandaise sauce. Allow to thicken for about a minute.

Once all items have been completed

1. Serve sirloin topped with crab mix
2. Serve a side of asparagus with the hollandaise sauce on top. Feel free to add some to the steak as well
3. Enjoy :)
