Balsamic Marinaded Sirloin and Asparagus
An elegant dinner from the grill. Serves 4
| 1 boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1-inch thick (about 1-1/4 lbs.) 1 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 Tbsp. olive oil 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil |
1-1/2 tsp. Dijon-style mustard 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/2 tsp. sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. pepper |
In a small bowl, combine vinegar, oil,
basil, mustard, garlic and sugar
to make marinade. Place steak and 1/3-cup of the marinade in
a sealable plastic bag. Close bag securely, turn to coat steak and
marinate in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade. Meanwhile, bring 1-inch of
water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus and reduce heat to
medium-low. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes or until asparagus is just
crisp-tender. Drain asparagus and combine with the reserved marinade
tossing to coat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place steak on
grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill uncovered for 17-21 minutes for
medium rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally. During the last 3
minutes of grilling, arrange asparagus on grid around the steak. Grill 3 minutes,
turning once. Season steak and asparagus with the salt and pepper.
Carve steak crosswise into slices and serve with the asparagus.
