The glaze, which goes on the asparagus as well as the steak, has a rich sweetness that is transformed into something wonderfully complex once it hits the heat of the grill.
• Steak and asparagus can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over medium-high heat, 8 to 12 minutes.

Preparation
Step 1
Prepare a charcoal grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
Step 2
Stir together oyster sauce, vinegar, mustard, and red-pepper flakes in a large bowl.
Step 3
Thread about half of asparagus crosswise onto 2 parallel skewers, leaving space between. Repeat with remaining asparagus and skewers. Brush asparagus with some of glaze, then brush steak all over with remaining glaze and sprinkle with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Step 4
Oil grill rack, then grill steak and asparagus, covered only if using a gas grill, turning steak once and asparagus occasionally, until asparagus is tender and well browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes, and steak is medium-rare, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Let steak stand on a cutting board 15 minutes; put asparagus on a platter and cover. Thinly slice steak across the grain.
