The asparagus was fun to cook too. Pure steam never touches the water so it has that great crispness and nothing is soggy about it. The sweet potato fries are amazing just coat in olive oil and salt, then bake until crispy.
i wouldn't bother cutting the steak first. just leave it in a large ziploc bag w/ the maranade in the fridge for 30-45 minutes, take it out and do your dry rub, then go to town.
also, make sure to take it off the heat and let it rest for about a minute to a minute and a half before cutting it.

this way the meat will re-absorb all the juices and they won't spill out when you slice it.
