Remove shells from the crab.

In a bowl, mix butter, coconut oil, garlic powder, fresh sage, and fresh oregano to create a dough.

Knead the dough lightly until soft and pillowy, then set aside.

In a pot, place root vegetables and corn at the bottom, season with garlic, butter, and salt.

Add crab on its back to prevent fat from seeping out.

Pour in salt beef brine, onions, and sweet peppers, then add more oregano, sage, and thyme on top.

Once boiling, stretch the dough over the crab and reduce heat to low to steam.

Steam for 10-15 minutes until the dough is glossy and cooked through.
