This Grilled Asparagus with Balsamic Soy Butter Sauce is so easy and delicious – just four ingredients.
Grilled Asparagus with Balsamic Soy Butter Sauce - a super easy and delicious recipe with just 4 ingredients
Do you find it challenging coming up with different ways to prepare vegetables for dinner throughout the week? I try to serve a different vegetable each night, but lately, I’ve been getting tired of making vegetables the same old way each week.

While we were on vacation earlier this summer, we ate mostly French food, and there was butter in almost every dish. I have to admit butter does wonders even in small amounts, so I bought some organic grass-fed butter after we got back from vacation and have been using it to entice my kids to eat their vegetables.

This Asparagus with Balsamic Soy Butter recipe was given to me by a friend thirteen years ago. It’s hard to believe how long ago that was. But I still remember my friend telling me how good this recipe was. Although you can roast the asparagus in the oven as my friend does, I grilled it since it’s summertime and I’ve been trying to keep the heat out of the kitchen.

The sauce has almost a meaty quality to it – the butter is lightly browned until toasty, then the soy sauce and balsamic vinegar are added. This is such an easy recipe, but it turns plain old grilled asparagus into something special.

    I wonder if you would rethink the use of “soy” as an adjective. I don`t eat soy unless it is fermented. When I see “soy butter” I think of a spread made with soy beans NOT butter plus soy sauce. Perhaps most readers understand your usage but I (yes, regular, but not dedicated) do not.
    I love your recipes but I am vegetarian so not all your recipes suit me. I read the recipe title and pass on those that don`t suit me.
