    List of Ingredients




    1 Pound Green Asparagus, Peeled And Trimmed
    2 Cloves Garlic, Peeled And Smashed
    1/2 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves
    2 Ounces (1/4 Cup) Pine Nuts
    2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
    3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
    2 Tablespoons Fresh Thyme Leaves
    1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
    3 Pounds Sirloin Steak (about 1 inch thick)

    Recipe



    • Place the asparagus in a pot of lightly salted boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.

    • Cut the spears in half and reserve the tops of the stalks for Spinach Pasta With Asparagus Pesto. Roughly chop the stalk bottoms.

    • In a food processor, combine the chopped asparagus, garlic, basil, pine nuts, and 1 teaspoon of the salt. With the motor running, pour in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and process until finely chopped. Reserve half of this tapenade (about ½ cup) for Spinach Pasta With Asparagus Pesto.

    • In a small bowl, combine the thyme, pepper and the remaining olive oil and salt. Rub the mixture over the steak.

    • Grill or broil the steak 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium. Remove the steak and let it sit, covered with foil, for 5 minutes. Divide the steak into 4 portions and serve topped with dollops of Asparagus Tapenade.

    • Makes about 4 servings.
