Instructions
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook 6 to 8 oz pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Pat dry 12 oz to 1 lb tri-tip steak and season with salt and pepper. Trim 1/2 lb asparagus and cut into 2-inch pieces. Slice 8 oz mushrooms, thinly slice 1 bunch green onions, mince 3 cloves garlic, and chop 1/2 bunch parsley.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the tri-tip 3 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until medium-rare or medium. Transfer to a board to rest.
- In the same skillet, add another small drizzle of oil if needed. Cook mushrooms 3 to 4 minutes until browned. Add asparagus and the white parts of the green onions; cook 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir 30 seconds.
- Pour in 3/4 cup chicken broth and simmer 2 minutes, scraping up browned bits. Slice the rested tri-tip thinly against the grain.
- Add drained pasta, sliced tri-tip, half the parsley, and a splash of pasta water to the skillet. Toss until glossy and lightly coated. Add more pasta water if needed.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper. Finish with the green onion tops and remaining parsley, then serve.
