This simple steak gets its flavor from the smoked paprika. Look for it in Latin markets, or order it through www.tienda.com. You can use Hungarian sweet paprika, but the flavor won't be as deep.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 (4-ounce) beef tenderloin steak, trimmed (1 inch thick)
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon hot smoked paprika
* Dash of freshly ground black pepper
* 4 ounces asparagus spears
* 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
* Dash of salt
== Directions ==
# Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
# Sprinkle both sides of steak with 1/8 teaspoon salt, paprika, and pepper.
# Add steak to pan, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
# Snap off tough ends of asparagus.
# Steam asparagus, covered, 3 minutes.
# Drizzle juice evenly over asparagus, and sprinkle with dash of salt.
# Serve with steak.
