Instructions
  1. Preheat your broiler with an oven rack set about four inches from the heat.
  2. Line a sheet pan with foil, and dip a paper towel in a little olive oil to grease a wire rack (I used my cookie cooling rack, worked like a freaking charm.).
  3. Rinse the asparagus and snap off the tough bottom ends (wherever it breaks easily, typically where the green starts to fade to white), then toss with 3 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  4. Arrange asparagus in a single layer on the sheet pan, then set the greased wire rack on top, making sure it lays flat and even.
  5. Blot the steaks dry with a paper towel, and season both sides with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then place them on the wire rack. They should be hovering right over the asparagus.
  6. Place the pan under the broiler (the steaks should be about an inch from the heat), and let broil for about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
  7. For the feta cream sauce, combine the feta cheese, sour cream, remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil and cider vinegar in a food processor or blender, and puree until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the chives.
  8. When the steak is done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  9. Transfer steak to a cutting board and slice it thinly against the grain.
  10. Serve the sliced steak and asparagus with the feta cream sauce.
  11. Sit back and enjoy your meat coma.
