I think I put too much ground pepper and left asparagus marinating in the minced garlic, olive oil for 2 days. The flavor was definitely infused into the asparagus but found it to be too strong. Also next time I should cut off the thick end of asparagus.

I picked up the top sirloin from Costco they were almost 2" inches thick. I found this to be too thick when other guests requested well done, no matter how charred the outside was, inside it was still bloody runny. I think this will work a lot better next time when I use thinner cut top sirlons. Also I find that if I didn't marinate it with sprite at least overnight it wasn't tender. I will try dr. pepper overnight marination next time to make it tender.
