- Preheat oven to 350°. In large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 5 minutes, turning once; transfer bacon to rimmed baking pan.
- In small bowl, stir garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, black pepper and cayenne; rub over both sides of steaks. Heat same skillet over medium-high heat. Add steaks and cook 4 minutes or until browned, turning once; transfer steaks to baking pan with bacon.
- When cool enough to handle, wrap each steak with 2 slices bacon, securing with toothpicks; place on same pan and roast 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 135° for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board; tent with aluminum foil and stand 5 minutes. (Internal temperature will rise to 145° upon standing.)
- In small saucepot, melt about 1 tablespoon butter over medium-low heat. Add shallot: cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in wine; cook 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; cook 1 minute. Stir in cream and reduce heat to low; slowly whisk in remaining 7 tablespoons butter. Remove saucepot from heat; stir in tarragon, white pepper and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. In small microwave-safe bowl, heat crabmeat in microwave oven 10 seconds or until heated through; stir into butter mixture. Makes about 1 ¼ cups.
- Remove toothpicks from steaks; serve with Crab Sauce spooned over and around steaks garnished with tarragon, if desired.
