Ingredients

For the Steaks:

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
2 tablespoons butter (for basting)
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)

For the Pistachio Butter:

1/4 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon fresh thyme or parsley, chopped
Salt, to taste

For the Asparagus:
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

Instructions

  • Make the Pistachio Butter:

    • In a small bowl, mix softened butter with chopped pistachios, lemon zest, herbs, and a pinch of salt.

    • Shape into a log using parchment or plastic wrap, then refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).

  • Prepare the Steaks:

    • Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper.

    • Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.

    • Add steaks and sear 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, basting with butter, garlic, and herbs during the final minutes.

    • Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

  • Cook the Asparagus:

    • Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    • Grill or roast at 425°F (220°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until tender and lightly charred.

    • Squeeze lemon juice over the top before serving.

 

  • Assemble and Serve:

    • Plate steaks with a generous slice of pistachio butter on top.

    • Serve alongside roasted asparagus.
