Did not have arugula subbed basil. Fantastic!

If you can't find unsalted pistachios, you can use unsalted butter to balance the salty nuts. The butter amount is generous; if you like, toss some with the asparagus right after it comes off the grill and use the rest for the steaks.
CAMP TIP: Make the butter at home.
