Asparagus is usually steamed as whole stalks, but it can be steamed cut into bite-size pieces, if you like. Whether you steam it whole or chopped, place asparagus in a steamer rack and set over boiling water. Cover and cook until asparagus is tender, 4 to 8 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus stalks.o Microwave asparagus: Set asparagus in a microwave-safe baking dish, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and microwave on high until tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Let stand, still covered, another 3 minutes or so.
A microwave yields steamed asparagus in mere minutes, which is especially helpful on busy evenings. Simply lay trimmed asparagus in a microwave-safe dish with a tablespoon or two of lightly salted water or broth, and cover. A pound of asparagus cooks to crisp-tender in about 4 or 5 minutes at high power.
