Let’s prepare the asparagus
- Rinse the asparagus under cool water
- Cut the bottoms off each asparagus stock above the purplish section
- Prepare a pan with tin foil and lay the asparagus on the tinfoil
- Drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the asparagus
- Next, add the fresh ground pepper
- Sprinkle some sea salt
- Sprinkle some lemon juice
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F
- Cook the asparagus for exactly 7 minutes
Get the grill fired up and close the lid to preheat 400 – 500 °F
- Place the tune on the grill for 2 minutes then flip
- Repeat above
- Flip again for 2 minutes
- Flip one last time for 2 minutes
- When a total of 8 minutes is up, remove the tuna from the grill so it doesn’t overcook
