ingredients
Steaks (1 per person)
4-5 asparagus spears per steak
olive oil
salt, if desired
slices of swiss (or Gruyere) Cheese
butter
directions
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Snap off the woody ends of asparagus. Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast at 375 until crisp-tender. (About 15 minutes). Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
Allow steak to come to room temperature. Brush both sides with the Oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron pan on the stove until smoking hot. Place the steak on the skillet and don't move it for 2-3 minutes. Flip it over and cook for another 2-3 minutes and then (using oven mitts...it will be hot) pop the whole skillet into a 400 degree oven. If you want to up the flavor even more, top with a pat of butter.
Continue cooking until it reaches your desired level of doneness (I prefer medium rare). Remove from pan and cover with aluminum foil and allow steak to rest for five minutes.
Top with four asparagus spears and a couple slices of Gruyere cheese and heat under broiler until melted.
