Steak, Potatoes, Asparagus

So Ryan and I finally had the chance to cook dinner- and by Ryan and I, I mainly mean Ryan.. I assist from time to time I guess.

So here's a quick version of what we/he did. I'm probably missing a few steps but you get the idea:
1) buy some good steak
2) season it - nothing special- salt, pepper, some herbs
3) preheat the oven and heat 2 frying pans
4) cut up some onions and garlic
5) cut and wash some asparagus
6) boil a pot of water
7) in one pan- add splash of olive oil, add some onions and some garlic- let cook for a little bit, then add asparagus - stir every now and then if you'd like..(don't forget to season them too)
8) in the other frying pan (make sure it is really hot)- put in steaks and get a nice crust on both sides - not more than a minute on each side (only flip once)
9) after a good sear, place steaks in oven to finish cooking for a few minutes
10) add olive oil and the rest of the onions and garlic into the pan you cooked the steaks in - stir it up and pour over steaks once they are done cooking and have had time to rest for a bit
11) turn off boiling water and add instant mashed potatoes (yes we used instant not home made...)
12) plate it up!
