Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the beef strip loin and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the asparagus stalks to about 6 inches in length. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Wrap Asparagus in Beef

    Once marinated, take a slice of beef and wrap it around each asparagus stalk. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Chargrill the Wrapped Asparagus

    Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place the wrapped asparagus on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your liking.

  5. 5

    Make Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer over medium heat. Allow it to reduce until it thickens, about 10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Prepare Sriracha Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until well combined. Adjust sriracha to taste.

  7. 7

    Fry Carrot Strips

    Julienne the carrots and fry them in hot oil until crispy. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Plate the chargrilled asparagus wrapped in beef, drizzle with balsamic reduction, and serve with sriracha aioli on the side. Garnish with fried carrot strips.
