Season with salt, pepper and the lemon juice

5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use

Make a shallow cut lengthwise into the beef and then continue cutting along the curve, until the beef is a flat sheet

7

Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper

8

Spread the crab mixture in an even layer on the beef, then place the asparagus lengthwise over the crab with the tips poking out

9

Roll up the beef to make a pinwheel, then use butchers twine to tie it together in 1-inch increments

10

Heat an ovenproof saute pan over high heat and add some oil

11

Sear the beef on all sides, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook until the internal temperature hits 130 degrees F, 30 minutes

12

Remove the meat from the pan and rest on a cutting board before slicing

13

For the potatoes: Place the potatoes in a saucepan filled with cool salted water

Cook the potatoes until tender, then drain and cool

15

Using your thumb or a spoon, smash the potatoes until they break apart slightly

16

In a straight-sided saute pan add enough oil to come 1-inch up the sides of the pan

Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer reads 365 degrees F

Add the rosemary and fry until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels

For the bearnaise: In a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, combine the vinegar, wine, shallots, bay leaf and half of the tarragon

Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced by half

23

Remove from the heat and set aside to cool

24

Pour through a fine mesh sieve to strain out the solids

25

In the pitcher of a blender, add the yolks and the vinegar reduction

26

With the blender running, add one-third of the butter in a slow, steady stream

27

Once it emulsifies, increase the blender speed to high and add the remaining butter

28

Add the remaining tarragon leaves, then season with salt and pepper and give it one more buzz
