Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Risotto

    In a saucepan, heat the chicken broth and keep it warm. In a separate pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and add chopped shallot and minced garlic. Sauté until translucent. Add Arborio rice and stir for about 2 minutes. Gradually add warm chicken broth, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until the rice is al dente and creamy, about 20-25 minutes. Stir in spinach, heirloom tomatoes, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Angus Filet

    Season the Angus filet with salt and black pepper. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the filet on both sides until desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare). Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crab

    Gently warm the crab meat in a small saucepan with a bit of butter, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, create a bed of the heirloom tomato and spinach risotto. Place the Angus filet on top, then spoon the warmed crab meat over the filet. Drizzle demi-glace around the plate for presentation.
