Ingredients
  

BEARNAISE:

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons coconut vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon Redmond Real Salt

FILETS:

  • 4 8 ounce beef tenderloin filets
  • Redmond Real salt divided
  • 1 tablespoon bacon fat or tallow
  • 18 asparagus spears trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 8 ounces lump crabmeat

Instructions
 

  • To make the bearnaise, place the egg yolks and the coconut vinegar into a blender and pulse to blend. With the blender running very very slowly drizzle the butter until thickened. Stir in the tarragon and season with salt.
  • To make the steaks, season filets on all sides liberally with salt.
  • Heat a cast iron with bacon fat over high heat. Once hot, place filets in skillet and sear for 4 minutes on each side. Lower heat to medium and use a meat thermometer and cook to 130 degrees for medium rare or 140 for medium. Remove from skillet and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • While filets are cooking, make the asparagus. Place water in a large skillet that is 1 inch deep. Add 2 tablespoons salt. Bring salted water to a boil. Add asparagus in one layer. Cook until tender, about 5 minutes for medium and 7 minutes for jumbo. Drain, and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with salt, and top with a pat of butter.
  • To make the crab, melt 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet. Toss crabmeat in butter just long enough to heat it, being careful to not break it apart.
  • To assemble, place filets on serving plates. Spoon sauce over steak, top with crabmeat, and serve with asparagus.
  • Best served fresh.
