Tips:
- Choose the right steak. A good steak for grilling should be at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the steak is juicy and flavorful.
- Season the steak properly. Before grilling, season the steak generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to sear the outside of the steak and lock in the juices. Once the steak is seared, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest before serving. Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Grilled steak pairs well with a variety of sides, such as asparagus, roasted potatoes, or mashed potatoes.
Conclusion:
Grilled steak and asparagus with orzo is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The steak is juicy and flavorful, the asparagus is tender and crisp, and the orzo is creamy and cheesy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
