Simple, but hearty and delicious! A perfect combination.

Season a juicy steak with a little salt and pepper. Cook it in a generous quantity of butter. And then cook the asparagus in any residual drippings while the steak rests. Beautifully efficient. Incredibly delicious. Almost nothing to it.

Round out the meal with some mashed potatoes or another vegetable of your choice and a nice glass of wine. What could be better?
