Biff's Steamed Asparagus
Both Kristy and I love steamed asparagus. Steamed green vegetables (asparagus in particular) are a perfect compliment to a good ol' American meat and potatoes main dish. Tonight I steamed some asparagus for Kristy to snack on and for me to use in a salad I improvised. Steamed asparagus is quite simple to prepare.

handful of fresh asparagus spears
some olive oil
salt
pepper

Chop of the dry ends of the asparagus spears and place in a small bowl. Add some olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste and toss. Place asparagus in a steamer insert over boiling water. Steam for 4 minutes. Serve immediately plain or with some Jarlsberg cheese sauce.

Variations. Try broccolini (sometimes referred to as baby broccoli) instead.
