Steak and Asparagus ‘Sauté-Fry’ With Dijon-Sesame Dressing

Add the 1 tablespoon oil to the still-hot skillet over medium-high heat. Immediately add the asparagus and season liberally with salt and pepper. Toss the asparagus in the skillet to coat them in oil, then shake the pan so they settle in an even layer. Cook the asparagus, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Toss the asparagus once more, then let cook, undisturbed, until lightly charred on the outside and tender-crisp, 2 minutes more. Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate.
