Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Pistachio Butter & Asparagus: A Gourmet Delight


  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup shelled, roasted unsalted pistachios

  • 1 cup fresh arugula

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 boneless rib-eye steaks (about 12 oz. each)

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper


Instructions

 

  1. Make the Pistachio Butter:

    • In a food processor, combine the pistachios and arugula. Pulse until finely chopped.

    • Add the softened butter and blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

    • Transfer the pistachio butter to a small container and refrigerate until ready to use.

  2. Prepare the Grill:

    • Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to high heat (450°F to 550°F).

    • You should be able to hold your hand about 5 inches above the grill grate for only 2 to 4 seconds at this temperature.

  3. Season the Steaks and Asparagus:

    • Brush the rib-eye steaks and asparagus with olive oil.

    • Season both with kosher salt and ground black pepper.

  4. Grill the Steaks:

    • Place the steaks on the grill and cook, turning once, until they reach your desired doneness.

    • For medium-rare, grill for about 6 to 15 minutes total, depending on thickness.

  5. Grill the Asparagus:

    • During the last few minutes of grilling the steaks, add the asparagus to the grill.

    • Cook, turning once, until tender-crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes.

  6. Rest and Serve:

    • Transfer the grilled steaks and asparagus to a cutting board.

    • Top each steak with a generous dollop of the pistachio butter.

    • Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.

    • Slice the steaks and serve alongside the grilled asparagus.
