INGREDIENTS

9 oz Sirloin steak

1 lb Asparagus

1.5 tbsp Ghee

1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves Garlic

0.5 tsp Sea salt

0.5 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Lemon juice

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus and toss the spears on the baking sheet with olive oil, a pinch of sea salt, and black pepper.

• 3

  Roast the asparagus for 12-15 minutes until the tips are slightly charred and the stalks are tender.

• 4

  While the vegetables roast, pat the sirloin steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with the remaining salt and pepper.

• 5

  Heat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke slightly, then carefully place the steak in the pan.

• 6

  Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side to achieve a deep golden-brown crust and a medium-rare internal temperature.

• 7

  Reduce the heat to medium and add the ghee and smashed garlic cloves, tilting the pan to spoon the bubbling garlic butter over the steak for 60 seconds.

• 8

  Transfer the steak to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips against the grain.

• 9

  Finish the roasted asparagus with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and serve immediately alongside the warm, garlic-basted steak.
