Place the trimmed asparagus in the steamer basket, then set the basket over the boiling water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the basket.

Step 2

Carefully remove the steamer basket from the pot and transfer the asparagus to a serving dish.

STEP 3

Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and lemon juice, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat.
