Directions

List Steps

Step 1 Of 13

Trim excess fat from steaks. Tie butcher’s twine around the perimeter of each filet and season liberally with salt; then refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Preheat grill to 350°F.

While the grill heats, remove steaks from refrigerator and set aside until they reach room temperature, about 30 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine pepper and garlic salt.

Season steaks liberally; then place on hot grill grates and cook until the internal temperature reaches 110-115°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes per side.

Hot Tip

To check the internal temperature, insert the tip of the thermometer into the thickest part of the meat.

While the steaks are on the grill, drizzle olive oil over shrimp and season with Creole seasoning.

Remove steaks from heat and set cooking temperature to the “MAX” setting.

Place the shrimp in a deep-dish pan and cook on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes, or until pink on both sides.

In a large bowl, drizzle asparagus with olive and place it on the warming rack. Cook for 6 to 10 minutes.

10.

Return steaks to the grill for a quick sear, flipping once every minute until a nice crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 125°F.

11.

Remove steaks from the grill and rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Hot Tip

Giving your meat the time it needs to rest allows juices to redistribute, retaining moisture for tender meat. The internal temperature will continue to rise 10 to 15 degrees until it levels out and then begins to fall.

12.

While the steaks rest, add egg yolks to a food processor or blender and mix. Add lemon juice, melted butter and Italian herbs, mixing between each ingredient addition until the sauce thickens.

13.

Plate steak on a bed of asparagus. Top with shrimp, hollandaise sauce and a dash of Creole seasoning.
