Steak Chesapeake

My wife and I had a wedding anniversary a few days ago. As usual, she said she wanted to go out, although with COVID-19 the options are very limited. She has a senior position with an equipment finance company. She’s been working from home since March - the workdays have been long, and considering what’s happening in the economy she’s dealing with one problem after another. Well, she finally emerged from her home office about 7:30 that evening - it was pretty obvious she wasn’t up for going out...
I was ready, though. A few days earlier I had picked-up a whole prime tenderloin from Costco, and earlier that day I paid a small fortune for a pound of Maryland jumbo lump crab meat. My plan was to duplicate a great anniversary dinner we had 20+ years earlier. People around Baltimore might remember Peerce’s Plantation - for many years a fine destination restaurant a bit north of the city. They served a dish I’ve never forgotten, Steak Chesapeake - grilled filet mignon topped with jumbo lump crab, then smothered in bearnaise sauce.

We love mushrooms, so I added sautéed cremini shrooms to the bearnaise. It all came together very well - added twice-baked potatoes and asparagus tips glazed with a balsamic vinegar reduction, finished with Parmigiano Reggiano. Stag’s Leap Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon and a hot buttered ciabatta completed the meal. Oh, yeah!

I said to my wife, 'Where do you want to go for our anniversary?' She said, 'I want to go somewhere I've never been before.' I said, 'Try the kitchen.'

@Yno - I’ve never had Dungeness crab - I saw them on my last visit to Costco - about $25 for 2 - should I give it a shot? Blue crab right now is $80 for a dozen “jumbo” - of course, jumbo has no definition other than “bigger than #1s”Maryland, 1 LBGE

Dungeness is the real king. Sooooo sweet and succulent.

Yes sir! Nicely done.Coleman, Texas

That looks wonderful and the Artemis is a favorite of mine.LBGE, 36" Blackstone, Anova ProCharleston, SC

Yes, you should try it if you can get it fresh. Alway good to compare. If I had never branched out in my exploration of different cheeses, I would still be eating Velveeta. Yuck!
The Artemis is one of our favorite wines. We hadit for the first time while staying at the Ahwahnee in Yosemite. Brings back great memories.XL BGE in San Jose, CA.

referred to the dish as “Chesapeake Filet” - of course, I could have gotten the name garbled. Definitely a sentimental favorite - my parents dined there on their first date.Maryland, 1 LBGE
