A quick and easy macro-friendly recipe featuring a perfectly grilled NY strip steak paired with crisp-tender roasted asparagus, ideal for clean eating and balanced meal plans.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 NY strip steak (about 10 oz / 280 g), preferably USDA Choice or Prime
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 1 lb / 450 g), woody ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Fresh lemon wedges (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Remove the NY strip steak from the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub olive oil all over the steak, then evenly sprinkle garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper on both sides.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss trimmed asparagus with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl.
  4. Spread asparagus in a single layer on a baking sheet to roast later.
  5. Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until hot and slightly smoking.
  6. Place steak on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare (internal temp 130°F/54°C). Adjust time for thickness or desired doneness.
  7. Use tongs to flip the steak gently. Remove steak and let rest covered loosely with foil for 5-10 minutes.
  8. While steak rests, roast asparagus in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, tossing halfway through, until bright green and slightly crisp.
  9. Slice steak against the grain and arrange with roasted asparagus. Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley if desired. Drizzle lemon juice over the top before serving.

Notes

Let steak come to room temperature before cooking for even doneness. Pat steak dry to ensure a good sear. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness. Rest steak after grilling to lock in juices. Avoid overcrowding asparagus when roasting. Can substitute sirloin or flank steak for leaner options. Roasting asparagus on the grill wrapped in foil is an alternative method.
