Ingredients
2 (8 ounce) filet mignon steaks
coarse sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat filets dry; season with salt and black pepper.
Toss crabmeat with cooled melted butter; set aside. Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add filets; brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to an oiled baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven, on the middle rack, until filets start to firm and are reddish-pink and juicy in centers, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Top filets with crabmeat mixture.
