Learn how to cook Steak Oscar the easy way.

High heat and quick grilled beef tenderloin filet, topped with grilled lemon and garlic shrimp and asparagus and smothered in a rich, creamy tarragon Bearnaise sauce loaded with chunk crab meat.

This cook at home Steak Oscar recipe tastes every bit as good as what you'd find in your favorite restaurant but is suprisingly easy.

Instead of making your own Bearnaise sauce from scratch use one of the prepackaged ones available in most supermarkets.

Knorr makes a very decent sauce mix and saves a lot of time.

I've added lemon-garlic grilled shrimp to this recipe which is a variation on the typical Steak Oscar recipe you may find elsewhere but to me it makes this dish the best.

This oscar is one of those recipes that looks a lot more difficult to make than it actually is.

Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Direct Heat: 600F

What you'll need:

  • 4 beef tenderloin filets 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" thick (6 - 8 oz ea)

  • 1 cup Bearnaise sauce (prepackaged mix like Knorr)
  • 1 lb fresh asparagus (ends trimmed)
  • 1 can chunk crab meat (drained - approx. 6oz)

  • 12 jumbo shrimp
  • lemon pepper (to taste)
  • garlic powder (to taste)
  • olive oil (to drizzle on shrimp)

  • bamboo skewers (soaked for an hour)


    season beef tenderloin

    Step 1:
    Rub a small amount of oil on the beef tenderloins and season with a little freshly crushed peppercorn and kosher salt.

    Cover and keep at room temperature.

    Prepare the bearnaise sauce recipe according to package directions.

    Drain the liquid from the can of chunk crab meat.

    When the bearnaise sauce is cooked stir in the drained chunk crab meat to the sauce.

    Keep warm.


    seasoned shrimp skewers

    Step 2:
    Thread the shrimp on skewers.

    Rub a small amount of olive oil (or flavor infused oil) over all the shrimp.

    Sprinkle lemon pepper and garlic powder over all the shrimp on both sides.

    Cover and set aside.

    Step 3:
    Clean and oil the grill. Preheat to 600F.

    When the grills reached temperature, place the oscar beef filets on the grill and cook 4 - 6 minutes per side.

    Remove from the grill when the internal temperature reaches 125F for rare or 130F for medium-rare.

    Cover and let rest for 8 - 10 minutes (while the asparagus steams and the shrimp is grilled).

    Step 4:
    While the oscar fillets are resting grill the shrimp on high until cooked through, about 4 minutes.

    Trim the tough ends of the asparagus stalks and place in a steamer.

    Cook for 8 - 10 minutes while the shrimp cooks and the oscar filets rest.


    Step 5:
    The real trick when your learning how to cook Steak Oscar comes when you assemble it on the plate:

  • Place each grilled tenderloin on a plate and place a grilled shrimp on top of the steak and a couple beside it.
  • Place several spears of asparagus on top of each steak and another several on the plate beside it.
  • Carefully pour an equal amount of bearnaise sauce and crab mixture over each steak oscar and a little over the asparagus and shrimp on the side.

    Enjoy!
