Flank Steak wrapped asparagus

Flank Steak Wrapped Asparagus
Ingredients
½ pound flank steak
1 pound asparagus
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
5 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
2 tablespoons fish sauce
6 tablespoons ponzu soy sauce
salt
pepper
sesame seeds

Directions
Slice the meat very thinly across the grain. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper and place in a bowl. Combine garlic, ginger, 3 tablespoons sesame oil, fish sauce, and ponzu in a bowl and whisk. Pour ¾ of the marinade over the meat. Reserve the rest of the marinade. Let marinate for 1 hour. Cut the asparagus into thirds or in half depending on how long it is; season with salt and pepper. Grill for just a couple of minutes on medium high on the stove top with a little sesame oil; just til you get a little char. Wrap 2 pieces of asparagus in the thinly sliced flank steak. Try to wrap the meat so that it is not overlapping. Heat a sauté pan over medium high heat with 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil. Once heated, add the steak to the pan. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes per side. You may have to work in batches. Once cooked, sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with the reserved marinade.

Thanks for posting Bushman. Yum,....

Kroger wants 10+ per pound for a cut that has become trendy in certain areas and my butcher has a 70 pound minimum order for FS,

What has the world come to ???

I have a small morsel in the freezer that cost over 20 bucks. Guess I'll save it for the second coming of Christ or take it to a pawn shop if times get tight.

The recipe sounds good, but yikes! Over $10 bucks/pound for what used to be either stew meat or else tossed into the ground beef pile seems a bit high priced. If I'm going to let the moths out of my wallet to spend that much on a chunk of beef, it's gonna be a Rib Eye steak, not a flank steak. YMMV

I order the 70 pound minimum over the phone and show up with the 45 and a ski mask !!!
