TOP 10 REASONS TO BUY FROM KSR There’s been a lot of auction activity over the past 18 months, and we’ve seen many items that are selling for more than current retail asking prices sitting on dealer lots. Most auctions are pulling in online bidders, which adds to the total number of potential buyers and increases the chance for the price to rise. That’s good for sellers and auctioneers, but it generally doesn’t translate into a “killer deal” for the buyer. Dealers are invested in making sure that their customers get the right equipment, the right service, and the right parts. That’s something you can’t buy at an auction.

Inspired by foodnetwork.com Grilled Skirt Steak With Asparagus
INGREDIENTS
• 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper • Salt and pepper to taste • Grated pecorino Romano cheese
• 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak • 2 tablespoons canola oil • 1 pound asparagus
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat grill to high. Season room-temperature steak with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon oil. Any oil with a high smoke point, such as canola, will work. 2. Trim bottom inch of asparagus. Season with salt, pepper, and remainder of oil. 3. Cut steak into four portions and grill for 3–5 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Skirt steak is thin and will cook quickly. 4. Let steak rest for 10 minutes. While it’s resting, grill asparagus for 6 minutes, turning once. 5. Sprinkle cheese and crushed red pepper on asparagus. Serve alongside steak.
