👨‍🍳 Instructions

Place water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set.

Add salt and butter, and bring to a boil.

Trim the dry ends off of the asparagus.

If the spears are thick, peel them lightly with a vegetable peeler.

Place them in the top half of the steamer pan set.

Steam for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus, or until asparagus is tender.
