Steamed Asparagus

Instructions

Wash asparagus under cool water and shake a little bit to dry.

Snap off the bottom stem of each spear.

Place water in the bottom of a saucepan and line with a steamer basket ensuring the water doesn't touch the basket. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Place asparagus in the basket, cover and allow to steam 4-6 minutes depending on thickness and desired doneness.

Place asparagus on a plate, toss with butter and season with salt & pepper. Serve warm.
