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)
