Snap the asparagus by holding each piece at the very ends and folding in half until it snaps. This will ensure you don’t get the woody end pieces as it will snap to where it is ripe.
In a medium sauté pan, add the oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the asparagus and sauté about 5 minutes or until it is soft, add the garlic and cook until the asparagus is a bit brown and the garlic is fragrant.
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top and serve hot.
