2. After trimming and washing asparagus, brush stalks with oil. Place on pre-heated grill, direct medium, for 6–8 minutes, or until the stem end jags tender. Turn stalks every 2–3 minutes, being careful not to overcook it. (Remember, the asparagus will continue to cook after leaving the grill.) Arrange on platter. Sprinkle with cheese.
