Chef's Note
For the most tender results, be sure to slice the flank steak against the grain at a 45-degree angle. If you prefer a more pronounced Asian flavor, add a teaspoon of grated ginger to the marinade. The roasted garlic butter can be made ahead of time and refrigerated - just bring to room temperature before serving.

Ingredients
2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons fresh thyme
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
6 cloves garlic cloves
1 head whole garlic head
4 tablespoons olive oil
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 pounds asparagus
1 whole lemon
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
For the roasted garlic butter: Cut the top off the whole garlic head to expose the cloves. Place on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft and golden.
- 3
While garlic is roasting, prepare the herb crust. Finely chop 2 tablespoons each of rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Mince 4 cloves of garlic. Mix the herbs and garlic with 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl.
- 4
In another bowl, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon honey to make a marinade.
- 5
Pat the flank steak dry with paper towels. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper on both sides.
- 6
Brush the marinade over both sides of the steak, then press the herb-breadcrumb mixture firmly onto both sides.
- 7
Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15 minutes while you prepare the asparagus.
- 8
Trim the woody ends from 2 pounds of asparagus. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
- 9
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 10
Sear the herb-crusted steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown.
- 11
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 135°F/57°C). Place the asparagus in the oven at the same time.
- 12
While the steak and asparagus cook, prepare the roasted garlic butter. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a bowl with 8 tablespoons of softened butter. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce, zest from 1 lemon, and mash together until well combined.
- 13
Remove the steak from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Continue cooking the asparagus if needed until tender, about 12-15 minutes total.
- 14
Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices.
- 15
Squeeze half the lemon over the roasted asparagus.
- 16
Serve the sliced steak with a dollop of roasted garlic butter on top and the roasted asparagus on the side.
