When this simple steak gets a quick butter baste, its center cooks gently and evenly and its outside develops a beautiful bronze crust infused with sticky ginger, garlic and herbs. Its overall effect is one that a quick and hard sear alone cannot duplicate. While the steak rests, asparagus is quickly cooked using the residual heat from the steak skillet, gaining flavor from the pan juices.
Serve with white rice to soak up those buttery remnants cut with electric lime. _____ Total time: 45 minutes Servings: 2.
