Ingredients:

For the Ribeye Steak:

• 2 Ribeye steaks (about 1 to 1.5 inches thick)
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
• Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (optional)

For the Asparagus:

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, tough ends trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:

For the Ribeye Steak:

1. Preparation:

• Take the Ribeye steaks out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. This helps ensure even cooking.

1. Seasoning:

• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. If desired, rub minced garlic over the steaks for added flavor.

1. Grilling:

• Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat.
• Brush the steaks with olive oil to prevent sticking.
• Place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your desired level of doneness.
• If using fresh rosemary or thyme, add the sprigs to the grill in the last couple of minutes for aromatic flavor.

1. Resting:

• Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

For the Asparagus:

1. Preparation:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

1. Seasoning:

• Toss the trimmed asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

1. Roasting:

• Place the asparagus on a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Roast in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the asparagus is tender but still crisp.

Serving:

1. Plating:

• Slice the rested Ribeye steaks against the grain into desired thickness.

1. Serving:
