This recipe is worth me breaking my 'no asparagus' rule - it's such a classic combination and goes GREAT here. Ingredients:
2 10 - 12 oz. boneless beef top loin (strip) steak, 3/4 inch thick |
1 or 2 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped |
1/2 tsp. cracked or coarsely ground black pepper |
1/4 tsp. salt |
8 to 10 thin asparagus spears, trimmed (6 oz.) |
2 tsp. garlic-flavored olive oil or olive oil |
1/2 cup beef broth |
1 tbsp. dry white wine |
1/4 tsp. dijon-style mustard |
Directions:
1. Rub the steak on both sides with a mixture of the garlic, pepper, and salt, pressing in the mixture with your fingers. Place the asparagus in a shallow dish and drizzle with the oil.
2. For sauce, in a medium skillet stir together the broth and wine. Cook over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup. Whisk in mustard; keep warm.
3. Preheat grill on high setting. Place steak on the grill rack, close lid. Grill until steak is desired doneness. (3 to 4 minutes for medium rare or 5 to 7 minutes for medium, turning steak once.) Add asparagus to grill for the last 4 to 5 minutes of grilling. Cook asparagus until crisp-tender.*
4. Spoon sauce on serving plate. Cut steak in half crosswise. Serve steak halves atop sauce with asparagus on top.
5. *Note: The asparagus cooking time will vary with the size of asparagus. Also, if there is no room on the grill, the asparagus can be grilled after the steak.
