Not everyone enjoys a good steak but I certainly do. New York Strip steak isn’t my favorite cut of beef but it was half price so I couldn’t resist. I had some jumbo lump crab I had purchased for another dish but opted to make something different. Normally I do not do much to lump crab as it needs nothing to compliment the sweet flavor and personally I prefer it over lobster. At first I was going to make a hollandaise sauce but didn’t want to alter the flavor of the crab. I chose to burn some butter then gently sauté the crab and serve it over the steak. If you never had burnt butter you may never eat lobster, clams or crab another way.
