- Slice the thick white ends off of the bottom of the asparagus and slice in half again.
- Add the asparagus to the pan along with the salt and lemon juice and cook for 5-6 minutes or until the asparagus is slightly tender. Set aside and lightly clean the pan.
- Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, removing and gristle and season with salt and pepper.
- Prepare the marinade by mixing 2 tbsp of avocado oil, balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, thyme, and garlic. Allow marinating on the counter for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can marinate the steak overnight in the fridge.
