ASPARAGUS WITH BREADCRUMBS AND PARMESAN

• Arrange asparagus in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Top with breadcrumb mixture and bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown and asparagus is tender, 20 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over asparagus just before serving.

BASIC BOILED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Bring about 6 quarts of water to a rapid boil in a covered pot large enough to hold the asparagus. Cut the bottom section- usually about 1 to 2 inches off the asparagus stalks with a sharp knife. Peel the asparagus by laying them flat, one at a time, on a cutting board. If the asparagus are thinner than 1/2-inch, use a vegetable peeler and peel the asparagus starting at the base of the tip and peeling them all the way down to the base, eliminating the fibrous peel and revealing the pale green flesh. If the asparagus are very thick or woody, use a paring knife and start peeling from the base. When ready to cook, toss the salt into the boiling water and carefully lower in the asparagus. Turn the heat to low and simmer the asparagus, uncovered, until the spears are easily penetrated with a knife, usually after about 5 minutes but from 1 minute for very thin asparagus to 12 minutes for the very thickest. If serving cold asparagus, plunge the hot cooked asparagus into ice water or rinse under cold water in a colander. Pat dry.

WOOD ROASTED SHAVED ASPARAGUS, PARMESAN, BREADCRUMBS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus lengthwise into strips (if using Brussel sprouts, use a knife or mandoline to shave the sprouts).
• In a large bowl, gently toss the shaved asparagus with 2 tablespoons olive oil and a few pinches of salt and pepper. Pour the asparagus mixture into a 12-inch cast-iron skillet and loosely arrange a "nest." Roast until slightly browned and softened, about 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the cubed bread and toss to coat in the olive oil. Allow the bread to toast evenly, tossing often, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the garlic to perfume the oil and bread. Remove the bread from the pan to a cutting board and roughly chop the bread pieces. Toss with the grated Parmesan and black pepper, to taste.
• Top the asparagus with the breadcrumbs. Garnish with more grated Parmesan.

SHEET PAN LONDON BROIL WITH ASPARAGUS GRIBICHE

Steps:

• For the London broil: Set a large resealable plastic bag in a medium saucepan and pull the edges of the bag over the sides of the pan for easy access to the bag. Add the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic cloves, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to the bag and whisk to combine. Add the London broil and seal the bag tightly. Remove the bag from the pan and use your hands to rotate the meat, coating thoroughly in the marinade. Lay the bag flat on a cutting board and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour, flipping the bag after 30 minutes. (The seasoned meat can also be stored in the refrigerator overnight. Let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.)
• For the gribiche: Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan filled with water to a boil over high heat. Use a large spoon to gently add the eggs. Boil for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Crack, peel and roughly chop the eggs.
• Whisk the oil, mustard, vinegar, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, chives, capers and cornichons. Fold in the chopped eggs. Cover and set aside to marinate. (The gribiche can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; return to room temperature before using.)
• While the gribiche is marinating, position an oven rack about 4 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler to high. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and place in the oven to preheat.
• Remove the steak from the bag and discard any stuck-on garlic cloves. Pull the preheated sheet pan from the oven and place the steak in the center. Broil until nicely charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the steak registers between 120 and 125 degrees F, 6 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer the steak to the cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
• For the asparagus: While the steak rests, add the asparagus to the same sheet pan and toss with the olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Broil until the asparagus is vibrantly green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the asparagus among plates and spoon the gribiche over the top. Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain and divide among the plates.

ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN-EGG CRUMB TOPPING
