There are lots of way to ruin STEAK!

You got most of them covered!

To me? Broccoli just does not taste good...will on occasion have a dish of cheese soup with a broccoli garnish...

You have about a two year supply in that pic...

Broccoli is good!

When served with medium rare ribeye.

 

[popsgarland]

How can that be a years worth of food? I don't see steak anywhere on that list.

If you look real close it was made up by one of those all veggy eaters.

OMG! Must be a liberal, a fate worse than death.

 

[General Zod]

Still, other than the nasty shit like squash, it does look to be about a year's worth of sides, some seasonings, and rabbit feed. Assuming rabbits will eat kale.

Yep.

Put the blame broccoli on the spoon.

Fling it at the waiter..when it is time for more STEAK!

What about the Kale???

If you cook it using coconut oil, it makes it much easier to scrape into the trash.

Asparagus and broccoli are your friends. And properly steamed they go nicely with things like steak.

If you pan-fry a steak in a very hot cast-iron pan you have an opportunity to make asparagus a way my sis really loves. I hate the stuff, btw, and I prefer my broccoli (which I love) just steamed.

Anyway, the steak comes out of the pan and you do what you wish with the pan juices but leave the fond alone. Deglaze with a quantity of melted butter and a quick, thorough scrape of the bottom of the pan. Before the butter burns (Seriously, you only have a few seconds.), throw in the asparagus and let it absorb heat, butter, and that marvelous flavor left in the pan. Remove the asparagus right before the butter becomes a problem. If your asparagus is too thick to fully cook during the limited time available, it may need pre-steaming or just a little microwaving while wrapped in wet paper towels before it goes in the pan. Canned asparagus never needs any preparation before hitting the cast iron.

My sis says she loves it done that way. When I came up with this method (I'm sure I wasn't the first, of course), I was just looking for a way to get the asparagus done quickly so I wouldn't have to deal with it for much time. I really do hate the stuff, including the smell as it cooks. It seems I stumbled across something that she likes; pure serendipity, that was.

Ah, the problem is if I'm cooking steaks, there's charcoal involved. But, that does sound delicious for those who pan-fry their steaks. Think it would work with chicken fried steak? That's the only steak I do in a pan.

I cook steak on cast iron and we usually roast the asparagus in the oven. Next time I'll finish it in the cast iron.

Thanks for the tip.

You....you...purist, you!

 

[Mike_from_Texas]

I love me a Steak cooked over charcoal or wood but a properly seared steak in cast iron is fantastic as well.

I do the best of both worlds on occasion. I’ll put a cast iron skillet in the grill and finish sear the steak on the cast iron after the steak hits 115-118°.

I soak fresh asparagus in olive oil then put it in the oven.

I steam it until it's cooked but still firm, then quite often put hollandaise sauce over it.

Steam the broccoli.

Steam the broccoli.

I do that, too. When I'm not just eating it raw. But steamed asparagus is nice, too.

Exactly.
