📝 Preparation Steps
1
Trim the woody ends from the base of the asparagus spears by cutting off the bottom 2 inches or by snapping it off with your hands.
2
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the asparagus in a single layer and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly golden and almost tender, 8 to ⏱️ 10 minutes. (Cut a small piece from the end of one asparagus to see if it's near tender.)
3
Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, garlic, salt, and pepper, and stir to coat the asparagus. Cook until the garlic is softened and fragrant, 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes more. Immediately transfer to a serving plate.
