NY Steak and Asparagus

Ingredients:

  • 4-8 oz RVM New York Steaks
  • 1-2 tablespoons Montreal Steak Seasoning or to taste
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

New York Steak grilling time

  • Grease and preheat grill to high heat. Grill steak for 3-5 minutes, flip on the other side and grill for another 3-5 minutes for medium-rare.
  • Grill 5 to 7 minutes on each side for medium or 8 to 10 minutes on each side for medium-well.
  • Remove steak from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes under a foil paper.

How to Prep Asparagus for Cooking

  • First, wash asparagus in a cold water, and snap off the woody ends by bending it with fingers. It usually snaps easily at the bottom where the woody part begins.
  • Next, using a zip bag add 1 lb of asparagus, 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, salt and pepper to taste. Zip and mix well, let marinate until ready for grilling.
  • Grill asparagus over high heat for 5-10 minutes, or to desired tenderness, turning on the other side once.
