Beef Oscar is a twist on an old recipe dating back to 1897--Veal Oscar. Originally created and named in honor of King Oscar II of Sweden whose favorite ingredients were veal, crabmeat, asparagus and Bearnaise sauce. This is close to the dinner I made for my husband, Jerry and me, for New Year's Eve. I thought I came up with something new when I switched the veal to beef and the crabmeat to lobster, but apparently that's the modern day version of Veal Oscar. I thought Veal Oscar was out of vogue and no restaurant was serving it anymore. Guess I was wrong on that count!
