Ingredients
  • 1 lb Steak (Ribeye or Sirloin), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb Asparagus, trimmed
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

Prepare the Steak and Asparagus

Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper. Toss the trimmed asparagus with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Sear the Steak

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare to medium is recommended for tenderness). Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Asparagus

Add the asparagus to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Combine and Serve

Return the steak and asparagus to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
