Snap the woody ends off the asparagus and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle both the asparagus and beets with oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper.
Prepare the barbecue for direct grilling at high heat. Oil grill and place the beets on for 2 minutes per side and flip or until beets are caramelized. Place the asparagus on the grill and allow to cook for 1-2 minutes turning after 1 minute, depending on the size of the asparagus. Asparagus will turn bright green with golden char marks. Remove and serve hot.
Serves 6-8
