Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Sear steaks 90 seconds per side without moving. Edges should look browned; center stays rare to medium-rare.

  4. Step 4

    Transfer steaks to a plate. Toss asparagus with oil and salt, spread in the skillet, cook 4 minutes until edges blister.

  5. Step 5

    Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the skillet, cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then stir in Parmesan.

  6. Step 6

    Return steaks to skillet, spoon garlic-butter sauce over the top, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need
