sea salt
Togarishi (Japanese seasoning)
Miso sauce
120 grams white (Shiro) miso paste
120 grams unsalted butter
Asparagus
250 grams asparagus

METHOD

Miso sauce: Put the miso in a bowl and beat in the butter until thoroughly combined and even in colour. Set to one side.

Asparagus: Snap off the woody ends and peel away any tough outer skin. Toss the asparagus in olive oil in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Steak: Preheat a sauté pan or barbecue.

Rub the steaks with olive oil and season the steaks with salt and the Togarishi.

Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes each side. Cook the asparagus for 3-4 minutes until tender.

Transfer to a plate, cover and rest for 5 minutes.

Place a spoonful of the butter in the centre of each plate and top with the warm asparagus and Flat-Iron steak. Add a few turns of the pepper mill and serve immediately.
