T-bone, bacon-wrapped asparagus, and salad

Tonight was probably my favorite meal in a long time. I decided to grill a t-bone steak (that I got from our friendly Albertson's butcher on sale). Also, I wanted to do something with the large bundle of asparagus. I know my pictures are nowhere near as professional as those cooking websites, but hey, I'm having fun with it. So, here's what I made:

T-Bone
Select a nice, thick t-bone. Get grill nice and hot. Put steak on grill (high heat) for 3 minutes with lid closed. Turn steak over, and cook another 3 minutes. Turn down the heat on one burner to medium, and the other burner to low (almost off). Arrange the steak so that the filet portion is over the lower heat (it is more tender meat and I dont like it over cooked). Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until steak temperature is 130. Remove, and let sit for a few minutes.



Asparagus
Ingredients: Asparagus, bacon, salt, pepper, oive oil
Remove the bottoms of the asparagus (its too tough, anyways). Drizzle asparagus in olive oil. Sprinkle on salt and pepper. Then take a small bundle of asparagus (see picture) and wrap a strip of bacon around it. Grill on Medium heat for 10 minutes, turning every now and then. Its done when the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
