Instructions

Prepare the Hollandaise Sauce: Whisk egg yolks with lemon juice in a heatproof bowl until thickened. Place the bowl over simmering water, ensuring it doesn't touch the water, and slowly drizzle in melted butter while whisking until smooth. Season with salt, white pepper, and cayenne.
Cook the Asparagus: Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or sauté over medium heat until tender and slightly charred for about 4–6 minutes, then keep warm.
Cook the Steaks: Generously season steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, cooking steaks for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let them rest for a few minutes to keep juicy.
Assemble the Steak Oscar: Place each steak on a plate, top with lump crab meat and drizzle with warm hollandaise sauce. Garnish with chopped chives.
Serve: Arrange asparagus beside the steak and add lemon wedges for squeezing over the dish.

Notes

For best results, let the steaks sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
Serve with a crisp salad for a complete meal.
