Steak with asparagus
2 servings
90 minutes
Steak with asparagus is an exquisite duet of juicy meat and tender green shoots. American cuisine is rich in steak variations, but this option is complemented by the freshness of asparagus and the richness of a fragrant marinade. The veal is marinated in soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, and spices, giving it a rich flavor with subtle sweet-and-sour notes. Grilled to perfection, it develops a crispy crust while remaining soft and juicy inside. Steamed asparagus retains its tenderness and slight crunchiness, beautifully enhancing the meat. This dish is perfect for dinner, combining ease of preparation with restaurant-quality.
1
Choose 2 thick pieces of veal (2-4 cm).
- Lean veal: 2 pieces
2
Mix all the ingredients and marinate the meat for at least half an hour. Then dry it with a paper towel. This is an important nuance; only then will you get an appetizing crust.
- Soy sauce: 120 ml
- Balsamic vinegar: 60 ml
- Honey: 2 teaspoons
- Garlic: 3 cloves
- Fresh thyme: 1 sprig
- Fresh rosemary: 1 sprig
- Ground black pepper: to taste
3
Make sure the meat is at room temperature and place it on a hot grill pan lightly greased with vegetable oil.
- Vegetable oil: to taste
4
For medium doneness, cook the meat for 4-6 minutes on each side. Immediately place the steaks on a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes.

While the steaks are 'resting', prepare the asparagus. Wrap the stems tightly in a damp paper towel and microwave for 3-4 minutes. This method steams the asparagus, making it tender and crisp.
