Ingredients

Method

1. 1. Let your steaks sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before seasoning generously with salt and pepper.
2. 2. Preheat your grill to high heat (around 450°F). Lightly brush the asparagus with oil and season with a pinch of salt.
3. 3. Place steaks on the grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
4. 4. Add asparagus to the grill during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Rotate until tender and charred.
5. 5. Rest the meat on a board for 5–10 minutes. This ensures the juices redistribute for a tender bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when the steak is done?

Use a digital meat thermometer. Pull the steak off the heat at 125°F for medium-rare; it will rise to 130°F while resting.

Can I do this indoors?

Yes. A cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat works perfectly to achieve a similar sear on the stovetop.

Why choose grass-fed beef?

Grass-fed beef typically has a higher profile of Omega-3 fatty acids and a cleaner, more robust flavor compared to grain-finished alternatives.
