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
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
Season the Steaks and Asparagus:
-
Brush the rib-eye steaks and asparagus with olive oil.
-
Season both with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
