Seared Steak with Asparagus and Garlic

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb steak (such as sirloin or ribeye)
• 1 bunch asparagus
• 6 cloves garlic
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the 1.5 lb steak dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steak and sear until a deep brown crust forms, about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and let rest.

3. 3

   While the steak rests, trim the woody ends from the 1 bunch asparagus. Slice the 6 garlic cloves thinly.

4. 4

   Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 2 tbsp butter to the skillet. Add the asparagus and garlic, cooking until the asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve with the asparagus and garlic. Spoon any pan juices over the top.
