Chesapeake Steak

Chesapeake Steak

This is a truly decadent dish; not for those watching their cholesterol! I wish I could credit the creator of this dish but I'm not really sure where it came from. My brother had something like this at a restaurant somewhere and described it to me. So, we borrowed the concept and came up with our version. If you happen to be camping on the Chesapeake Bay and the crabs are cooperating, by all means, use real crabmeat. Otherwise, the frozen fake stuff will do. All measurements are approximate; I rarely measure.

Ingredients:

Four servings of your favorite cut of steak
Worchestershire sauce
Grill seasoning (we like Lawry's Steak & Chop Seasoning)
Soy sauce
Garlic powder
2 Tbs butter
1 lb crab meat (real or imitation)
1 Tbs lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
4 slices of provolone cheese

Procedure:

Sprinke each side of steak with approximately worchestershire sauce. Rub into the steak. Sprinkle each side of the steaks with your favorite grill seasoning. Grill to desired doneness.

Meanwhile... Melt the butter in a frying pan and add the crab meat. Sprinkle with lemon juice, garlic powder (approx. 1/2 tsp) and Old Bay Seasoning. Cook until just heated through.

Divide the crabmeat mixture and spoon onto the top of each steak. Place a slice of provolone cheese over the crabmeat on each steak. Cover the grill and continue to grill until the cheese is melted.

Serves four
