We celebrated our wedding anniversary the other day, and I wanted something special for supper. We love steak and seafood, so some form of surf and turf was inevitable. This was very easy to make, and very tasty.
While Steve cooked 4 steaks on the barbecue, I combined the following in a frying pan over medium heat:
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream
- 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 2 tablespoons green onion
- the meat from 4 cooked crabs (about 3-4 cups)
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan
- dash of salt and pepper
I started with cream cheese and added the cream, melting the cheese until it was smooth. Then I stirred in the sweet chili sauce. I added the crab and onions together, and let it all heat through, then added the parmesan and salt and pepper.
When the steaks were cooked, we added the crab on top. It would have been nice to flash it under the broiler and let it brown slightly, but we were camping, so that was not really an option.
I think this could be considered a kind of Steak Oscar, if you added asparagus.I originally thought it might be Steak Neptune, but apparently that is rolled up with the crab inside. Whatever it is, it tastes very good and is simple to make.
Do you like Surf and Turf? Got a favourite combination?
