Directions

  1. Place water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set. Add salt and butter, and bring to a boil.

  2. Trim the dry ends off of the asparagus. If the spears are thick, peel them lightly with a vegetable peeler. Place them in the top half of the steamer pan set. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus, or until asparagus is tender.

Recipe Note

Makes even tough asparagus, tender and tasty! Try using vinaigrette dressing in place of the butter too.
