Ingredients
½ lb Crab meat-good quality, drained and chopped3 small shallots-chopped fine4 cloves garlic-crushed2 sticks unsalted butter-room temperature3 tsp lemon juice1 Tsp-L & P Worcestershire sauce3 TBL chopped parsley2 TBL Cognacblack peppersalt4 Rib-eye Steaks-good quality
Directions
In a large bowl place crabmeat, shallots, garlic, butter, lemon juice, L&P, parsley, cognac, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Place mixture into parchment paper, roll into tube, and allow to harden in refrigerator. At least 1 hour.

Remove steaks from refrigerator and allow to warm before grilling. This ensures the meat cooks more evenly and won’t get overly done on the outside and remain too red on the inside.

Cut maitre d butter into coin slices, ½ inch thick. As soon as steaks are cooked, place steaks on serving plate and top with butter slices. Depending on size of the steaks, you may want to place 2 slices on each steak. Serves 4.

P.S. I didn't do a nutritional calculation on this dish. You don't need to know. This is definitely a special occasion meal.
