INGREDIENTS

6 oz sirloin steak

0.5 tbsp ghee

2 clove garlic

1 sprig fresh rosemary

1 sprig fresh thyme

1 cup asparagus

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.5 tsp extra virgin olive oil

PREPARATION

• 1

  Pat the sirloin steak completely dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 2

  Preheat a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is very hot and slightly smoking.

• 3

  Toss the asparagus spears with the extra virgin olive oil in a small bowl until evenly coated.

• 4

  Place the steak in the hot skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side to develop a deep, caramelized crust.

• 5

  Reduce the heat to medium and add the ghee, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.

• 6

  Tilt the skillet slightly and use a large spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melting herb-infused ghee for 2 minutes.

• 7

  Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes.

• 8

  While the steak rests, add the asparagus to the same skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green.

• 9

  Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately alongside the pan-seared asparagus.
