Rest the Meat
Remove the filet mignon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of white rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until rice is tender and water is absorbed.

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
