Steak Dinner with Sauteed Asparagus





Steak Dinner with Sautéed Asparagus

Hey Everyone!

In my family, we believe that there’s nothing more satisfying then sinking your teeth into a hot and juicy steak; no matter what night of the week. This recipe is quick and easy for weeknights after work. My mom weirdly likes to grill when it’s cold outside. She says it’s better to grill when its 40 degrees outside then when it’s 90 degrees outside. Once again, she has a point. Haha. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 Shell Steaks

Montreal Steak Seasonings

2 Tsp. of EVOO

½ tsp. of salt

¼ tsp. of pepper

Preparation:

Sprinkle each side of the shell steak with a half of tsp of Montreal Steak Seasonings. Let steaks come to room temperature for 30 minutes with the seasoning on them.

TIP *(This let’s the steaks cook more evenly when brought to room temperature before you cook them)

Recipe:

Depending on thickness of steaks and desired wellness, grill steaks on each side for 6-8 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes after grilling.

TIP*(By letting the steaks rest after grilling, all the juices return to the center of the steak instead of running out of them; they’ll be juicier!).

Use tongs to flip and handle the steaks when grilling.

TIP* (Using a fork will pierce the steak, and then the juices may escape)

For the sautéed asparagus add 2 tsp. of extra virgin olive oil to a medium sized sauté pan. Trim and wash asparagus and pat dry with a paper towel. Add asparagus to sauté pan over medium-heat. Sprinkle with ½ tsp. of salt and ¼ tsp. of ground pepper. Cook for 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally.

Voila! Enjoy!
