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

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Pat filets dry; season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
