    03 Method
    • Step 1
      Break off the tough ends with your fingers. Bend the asparagus spears near the end and they will break naturally where the spear is no longer tough.
    • Step 2
      For an elegant presentation of the spears, use a vegetable peeler to peel off a very thin layer of the outer skin of the lower two to three inches of the asparagus spears.
    • Step 3
      Prepare a large, shallow pan (with a cover) with a half inch of water and a steamer rack.
    • Step 4
      Prepare the Hollandaise sauce: Melt the butter in a small pot. Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne into a blender. Blend the eggs for 20-30 seconds at medium to medium-high speed until lighter in color.
    • Step 5
      Turn blender down to the lowest setting and slowly drizzle in the hot melted butter while the blender is going. Continue to blend for a few seconds after all of the butter is incorporated.
    • Step 6
      Taste the sauce and add more salt or lemon juice if needed. Keep warm while you are steaming the asparagus.
    • Step 7
      Bring the water in your steaming pan to a boil. Place the asparagus on the steaming rack. Cover. Steam for 3 to 5 minutes, until tender, but still a little crisp, definitely not mushy. The timing depends on how thick the asparagus spears are.
    • Step 8
      To serve, plate the asparagus. Pour Hollandaise sauce over them.
