How to Make Balsamic Asparagus

Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound of asparagus and wash thoroughly.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns bright green and is tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat the asparagus evenly.
Remove from heat and cover the skillet for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
