• 3 egg yolks
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 2 sticks butter, melted and slightly cooled
• Dash of kosher salt
• Cayenne pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon

Steak

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Four 2-inch-thick beef filet steaks (about 10 ounces each)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Roasted Asparagus

• 1 bunch medium-sized asparagus, ends trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Shrimp

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 8 ounces jumbo (16- to 20-count) shrimp, shelled and deveined

How To Make Pioneer Woman Steak Oscar

1. Make the Hollandaise Sauce: In a blender, combine the egg yolks and lemon juice. With the blender running on low, very slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter until the sauce is thick and creamy. Add a dash of salt and cayenne, then pulse in the chopped tarragon. Set aside.
2. Roast the Asparagus: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 5 to 10 minutes, until tender-crisp.
3. Cook the Steak: While the asparagus roasts, season the steaks generously with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for about 1 minute per side until a nice crust forms. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare.
4. Sauté the Shrimp: While the steak is in the oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a separate pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink and golden brown.
5. Rest and Assemble: Remove the steaks from the skillet, cover them loosely with foil, and let them rest for 5 minutes. To serve, place each steak on a plate, top with a few asparagus spears, pile on the sautéed shrimp, and drizzle generously with the tarragon hollandaise sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get a perfect sear on my steak? The key is a hot pan. Make sure your ovenproof skillet is properly preheated before you add the butter and oil. Patting the steaks dry with a paper towel before seasoning also helps create a better crust.
• Why is it so important to rest the steak? This is a non-negotiable step for a juicy steak. Resting allows the juices, which have been pushed to the center during cooking, to relax and redistribute throughout the meat. If you cut into it right away, all that flavor will spill out.
• How do I keep my hollandaise sauce from splitting? The secret is to stream the hot melted butter into the blending egg yolks very slowly. This allows the mixture to emulsify properly, creating a stable, creamy sauce.
• How do I avoid overcooking the shrimp? Shrimp cook very quickly. They are done as soon as they turn pink and opaque and curl into a “C” shape. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.

What To Serve With Steak Oscar

This is a very rich and complete meal. It is traditionally served as is, but also pairs wonderfully with:

• Creamy mashed potatoes or a potato gratin
• A simple rice pilaf
• Crusty bread to soak up the hollandaise sauce

How To Store Steak Oscar

Refrigerate: Steak Oscar is a dish that is best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, it’s best to store the components (steak, shrimp, asparagus, sauce) in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat: Reheat the steak and shrimp gently in a skillet. The hollandaise sauce does not reheat well and may split.
