*make sure you bake the potato rather than boil it to maintain the potassium content.

  1. Bake potato at 450 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until the center can be easily pierced with a fork.
  2.  While potato is in the oven, toss asparagus in olive oil, minced garlic, and a bit of salt and pepper. Cook steak and asparagus to your liking: you can add asparagus to the oven for the last 10 minutes while your potato bakes, OR grill it alongside your steak.

  4.  Top potato with asparagus, steak, and blanched slivered almonds. 
  5.  Add butter and lemon juice for extra flavor.
