This rich recipe is perfect for a romantic dinner. I prepared these mouthwatering crabmeat pan-seared filets on our one-year anniversary.
Ingredients
- 2 filets mignon steaks , 8 ounce
- coarse sea salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound fresh lump crabmeat
- 3 tablespoons butter , melted and cooled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) with oven rack in middle position. Oil a baking sheet.

Pat filets dry; season with salt and black pepper. Set aside. 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 the prepared baking sheet.

Roast in the preheated oven 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.

Easter Popcorn
This popcorn is an easy and festive way to enjoy some leftover Easter candy! You can use any kind of candy, nuts, or "mix-ins" that you like! And make sure to adjust the salt at the end, it really helps to balance out the sweetness! Make sure to store this in a cool, dry, and airtight container, or the popcorn will become soft. It should be eaten within a few days of being made.
Applesauce for the Freezer
There is nothing better than homemade applesauce with hand-picked apples, and it is so easy to do! For chunky applesauce, use a potato masher to mash the cooked apples. If you prefer smooth applesauce, run the cooked apples through a food mill. The key is adding a few strips of lemon peel to the apples while cooking. The lemon heightens the apple flavor. Make sure you use a good cooking apple, like Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Fuji, Jonathan, McIntosh, or Gravenstein. Ready to serve as soon as you're done, either hot or refrigerated. Delicious with vanilla ice cream or vanilla yogurt. This freezes easily and lasts up to a year in a cold freezer.
