salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste
olive oil
1 pound asparagus spears

Prepare the steaks by trimming the outside fat. and then patting dry.
Season steaks with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Prepare the asparagus by breaking the rough ends off.
In a shallow pan, toss the spears with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
Pre-heat your grill on a high setting. When you're ready to cook the steaks and the asparagus, turn it down to medium heat, and brush the grill grates with olive oil.
Place the steaks and the asparagus spears directly on the grill. For the steak, cook 5-7 minutes on each side. (Leave it on the grill longer if you prefer your steak more well done). For the asparagus, turn every few minutes until lightly charred.
Turn off the grill and place the steaks on a plate. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving with the asparagus.
