Simple, fast & tastefull

Here's an easy, fast and tastefull recipe, you should be done cooking within 10 minutes, dishes included.

Shoppinglist: a nice piece of ribeye, real butter, green asperagus.

Start with rinsing the asperagus under running water, getting the dirt a bit off.
Then put a kettle on with water and a fair amount of rocksalt. When boiling, put the asperagus in it for about 5 minutes (less or more, depending on the thickness of them, you want them "al dente" not too soft, not too hard.) Now remove the water, leave the asperagus in there and add a lump of butter to fry them a little, if you got a grillpan, you can grill them as well.

In meantime put another pan on the fire, heat it up really well, throw in a large lump of butter, when the butter is melted, throw in the ribeye and burn it. Season it well with rocksalt & sechuan pepper.

A little trick to know how to perfectly cook a steak the way you prefer is don't switch sides too much and watch the sides change colour. I prefer my steaks on the raw side so for me it's usually very hot pan, burn, turn, burn and done.

Now present the steak on a plate, asperagus on top and bon appetit.
Pure tastes with no compromises I'd say. Do use quality products doh.


Just for the fun of it, when you have guests, here's a way of showcooking a steak (preferably as thick as possible): First season it well, then blowtorch (yup, the one you can buy in a hardware store, very manly !) the steak untill the outside is burnt and closed, then put the steak in the oven at 60° C covered in alluminium foil for about an hour. (forget about the title above :))  
The torching makes the fluids stay inside when you're heating the meat in the oven and the burned flavour is a bbq alike bonus !
