• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup marinade (Diana Marinade, Steak Spice Flavour)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 (1/2 lb) thick strip steaks
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb asparagus spear, blanched
• lemon wedge

directions

1. Stir Diana Marinade with Worcestershire Sauce. Pour 2/3 cup of the marinade mixture over the steaks; marinate for 30 minutes, turning once. Meanwhile, combine remaining marinade mixture, butter, and garlic in a small saucepan. Cook stirring, over medium heat until saucy and fragrant; keep warm. Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks for 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked to preferred doneness. Brush steaks with enough butter mixture to lightly coat; rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile grill the asparagus for 5 minutes, turning and basting with remaining butter mixture. Transfer to a serving platter and top with the steaks, Serve with lemon wedges.
2. TIP: For perfectly blanched asparagus, cook in boiling salted water for 2 to 3 minutes, drain and quickly rinse under cold running water until cool.
3. HEALTH-IT-UP TWIST: To reduce the fat, omit garlic butter mixture and brush grilling steaks and asparagus with Diana Marinade Garlic and Herb Flavour instead.
