Instructions
1
Prep
pat the steak dry and season both sides with salt and pepper; let sit at room temperature 5 minutes. Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley.
2
Build
mash softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley together in a small bowl until evenly combined into a soft paste.
3
Grill
place the steak on a grill over high heat, cook 3 minutes per side until deep brown and the centre reads 130–135°F for medium-rare.
4
Grill
toss asparagus with olive oil and lay on the grill alongside the steak for 4 minutes, turning once, until lightly charred and tender.
5
Rest
transfer the steak to a plate and rest 5 minutes uncovered so juices redistribute.
6
Finish
top the steak with herb butter to melt slightly from residual heat and squeeze lemon juice over the asparagus.
7
Plate
slice the steak against the grain and arrange with the asparagus on a warmed plate.
