INGREDIENTS

6 oz top sirloin steak

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic

1 sprig fresh rosemary

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

1 cup asparagus

0.5 tsp lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Remove the steak from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking and pat dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.

• 2

  Season both sides of the steak generously with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat the olive oil in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.

• 4

  Place the steak in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until a deep golden-brown crust forms.

• 5

  Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, smashed garlic cloves, and the rosemary sprig to the pan.

• 6

  Tilt the pan slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melting garlic-herb butter for 1-2 minutes.

• 7

  Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

• 8

  While the steak rests, quickly sauté the asparagus in the remaining pan juices for 3-4 minutes until vibrant green and tender.

• 9

  Finish the asparagus with a squeeze of lemon juice and serve alongside the sliced steak.
