Ingredients:

– 2 cups asparagus, trimmed
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
– 2 cloves garlic, minced (divided)
– 2 ribeye or sirloin steaks (8 oz each)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil (for asparagus)
– 1 teaspoon soy sauce, low sodium
– 2 cups mashed potatoes, prepared as desired
– 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (for steaks)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

 

Instructions:

1. Begin by seasoning the steaks. In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 clove of minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary or thyme. Rub this mixture all over the steaks and let them rest for about 15 minutes at room temperature.

2. While the steaks are resting, prepare the balsamic sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and the remaining minced garlic. Heat over low flame for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, place the steaks on the grill and sear them for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time according to your preferred doneness. After grilling, let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4. Meanwhile, toss the trimmed asparagus in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, adding salt and pepper to taste. Once the steaks are nearly done, grill the asparagus for about 3-4 minutes until tender and lightly charred.

5. To serve, plate the sliced steaks and drizzle generously with the balsamic sauce. Serve alongside the grilled asparagus and your creamy mashed potatoes for a complete, satisfying meal.
