Simple classic - Beef fillet with asparagus

I usually buy this type of meat cut around special holidays:  Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day. Most of the stores run specials on fillets, dropping prices from usual $15.99-$17.99 per pound to $7.99, sometimes even to $6.99 for 2 fillets in a package.

I boil the asparagus in salted water for a short time, and put it  in an ice water.

The beef fillet is pan fried  on medium heat and in the end to brown - on higher heat, sometimes I even add butter (this helps to brown it faster) 

May 10 is National Shrimp Day in the US. Here is my Shrimp Cocktail

Really simple

1. Steamed shrimp

2. Shrimp cocktail : 50% ketchup to 50% horseradish. Its really strong. You can change up to your liking, by reducing the horseradish

Enjoy!!
