Season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and oil.

Warm the asparagus spears in boiling water.

Add the reduction to the egg yolks in a stainless steel bowl and consistently whip over simmering water until the yolks ribbon and triple in volume.
Gradually add the warm clarified butter, whipping constantly.
Add the lemon juice, tabasco, salt and pepper.
Strain the sauce through a cheesecloth if necessary.
