Prepare the Asparagus
Rinse the asparagus under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim the woody ends by snapping them off or cutting them with a knife.

Steam the Asparagus
Fill a large pot with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket in the pot, ensuring it does not touch the water. Add the asparagus to the steamer basket, cover the pot, and steam for 4-6 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Season and Serve
Remove the steamer basket from the pot. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm with a lemon wedge on the side for squeezing over the top.
