Ingredients

• 2 cuts (about 8 oz each) Ribeye or sirloin steak
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 8 pieces Fresh asparagus spears
• 4 slices Swiss cheese slices
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.

Step 2

Wash and trim the asparagus spears, cutting off the tough ends.

Step 3

Season both sides of the steaks generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, place the steaks in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (125°F for medium-rare, 135°F for medium).

Step 6

Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a plate. Cover loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes to lock in the juices.

Step 7

While the steaks are resting, add the butter and minced garlic to the same pan and lower the heat to medium.

Step 8

Add the asparagus spears to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and slightly charred.

Step 9

Preheat your broiler on high. Place the steaks on a broiler-safe pan or baking sheet.

Step 10

Top each steak with 2 cooked asparagus spears and 2 slices of Swiss cheese.

Step 11

Place the steaks under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the steaks from the broiler, transfer to plates, and serve immediately.
