I have that recipe for hockey puck steak! I think my mother passed it on to me. It wasn’t considered cooked till it was charcoal black.
I’ve just done a season of asparagus recipes as I love it so. I think this is my favourite way, as the asparagus is best the less you do to it.
I love asparagus, but usually I stir-fy them the Malaysian way, that is, with pungent ingredients such as shrimp paste and dried shrimp–the after smell is sure to win me “The Stinkiest House” in my own neighborhood, but hey, it’s darn good and very addictive…one you have had it, there is no turning back. Bwahahahahha.
You are very patient with your asparagus. I usually just stir-fry them or even lazier, blanch them :O
And I did say lazy me, isn’t it ? Even my slow-cooking is assisted with “touch of a button” technique (if it’s even a technique).
Off topic. . . Geraldson Community Farm CSA is just getting off the ground, and it looks like this summer will be its first season with fresh, local produce. Thought you’d be interested. . . I’m hoping to take my boys out there for the community workday in a couple of weeks.
Ooh, this looks glorious. I hope there’s asparagus at the next farmer’s market. I feel like spring has been fleeting this year (stone fruits started showing up three weeks ago!), but in California who knows?
What a great way to have asparagus! Thanks for passing this recipe along My first time here and I am hungry! beautiful photos and delicious food…I’ll be back for more
My favorite way to cook asparagus is on the grill, tossed beforehand with a bit of sea salt, pepper and olive oil. It’s the complete opposite of slow cooking — because I’m not a very patient cook! Your asparagus does look absolutely delicious, so maybe I’ll try to slow down….
RM- I never would have thought to add shrimp paste. Can’t wait to try – I want a STINKY HOUSE TOO!
Tiger- I use so many one-finger appliances that I think I need to give the finger a rest. Getting carpal tunnel!
Thank you Ellie!! Asparagus deserve to have sex appeal too! Notice in my photo they were naked except for a little parmesan bikini bottom
V- I hope you took a photo of it and posted on your blog. I love to see OPA: other peoples asparagus!
Steeped- I got lucky and was able to get the asparagus here in FL. I’m assuming that you can still get them in CA too. Seems like CA and FL growing seasons are similar.
Amy- yeah, my husband didn’t quite use those words about the filet…he said something about “donkey ass”
Hi Joey- Thanks for stopping by. You have lovely photography on your site too!
asparagus, parmesan cheese and lemon really go well together – a culinary menage a trois. people say that asparagus makes urine smell but i could careless – asparagus are too good.

I love asparagus. I’m going to try this out.
Looks amazing! One question: Is that salted or unsalted butter? And as to which one it is, how do you think it would taste with the other?

LPC- I use unsalted. Which is why I finish with sea salts in the end. Salted would be fine, just use less salt to finish.
Melinda- I think all our moms learnt the same “hockey puck steak” recipe in home ec class.
Ninja- thank you! let me know how it turns out.

Is slow-cooker the appliance or me ? *lol*

Have asparagus ever looked this sexy? I think not!
Beautiful asparagus. I just grilled mine today, but yours looked better.

Mmm this looks great! I think I can still get some asparagus so I’ll have to try this!
Shame about the filet mignon though.
