Steak Imperial

    So one of my favorite steak dishes is the steak imperial. I used to eat it quite a bit at the local restaurant down on the river called Calain's Cove. The owner was this great lady that even when it wasn't on the menu, or a special for the evening would cook it up just for me. She used filet, however I decided to use a simple yet delicious flank cut of beef. This was my first attempt at making Hollandaise sauce and I must say it turned out very well. Steak Imperial.

Ingredients:

• 1 flank steak
• salt/pepper

• 1 small 8 oz can of lump crab meat
• Tbs Garlic powder
• Tbs hot mustard
• Tbs old bay seasoning
• 2 tbs Italian style bread crumbs

• 4 egg yolks
• 1/2 squeezed lemon

1. Salt and pepper steak and set aside to grill.

2. In a large bowl combine crab meat, garlic powder, mustard, Old bay, bread crumbs. Sit aside.

3. In a stainless steal bowl whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice until doubled in size.

4. Over a double boiler with simmering water whisk the egg yolk mixture and slowly drizzle in the melted butter until doubled in size. 

5. Remove and whisk in the cayenne. Sit aside and keep warm until serving.

6. Now grill the steak to your choice of temp. 

7. Slice, top with some of the crab mixture and drizzle some Hollandaise sauce over and serve.

This is such a great flavorful dinner that everyone will love it!.
