Steaks & asparagus on the grill pan = SUPER EASY

DH had a friend & his girlfriend come over yesterday and they were starving.  Rather than get something unhealthy for takeout (McDonalds, ew.  Wraps, too many carbs, etc.) we decided to get steaks and just throw them on my grill pan (yea I got to try it out!)  I went the easy way since we didn't have any time to marinate.  I just rubbed them with garlic olive oil (which I made myself- basically I just used about 3 cups of extra virgin olive oil and cooked an entire head of garlic in it on a very low flame for about a half an hour. SO YUMMY!), salt and pepper.  I threw those babies on the grill and the outcome was yummy.  My only confusion was that they didn't turn a dark brown color- they were a very, very pale brown, but were definitely cooked all the way through.  In fact, DH said they were a little teeny bit overcooked (I tend to do that when I'm unsure, but at least they weren't burned!)  I also made asparagus on the grill too using the same method- evoo, salt & peper.  Then I just threw them on the pan and yum.

So it was a quick and easy dinner, but now those burgers are in my refrigerator.  Maybe I will cook them up for lunch.
