GRILLED BEEF FILET WITH CRAB CAKES AND CARAMELIZED ONION SAUCE
This is a lovely combination of crab and beef filet. The flavors blend together well and was a real treat tonight. You can certainly use fresh crab, but all I had was the canned, but it turned out well anyway, IMHO. Hope you will give it a try.
