Prepare the asparagus by snapping off the woody ends. Bend each spear near the base and it will break at the point where it becomes tender. For a neater look, use a vegetable peeler to peel off a thin layer from the lower two to three inches of each spear.
Fill a large shallow pan with about half an inch of water and fit a steamer rack inside.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low to medium heat.
Separate the yolks from the whites. Put the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt (if using unsalted butter) and cayenne into a blender. Blend on medium to medium-high for 20-30 seconds until the mixture lightens. Reduce the speed to its lowest setting and slowly pour in the hot melted butter while the blender runs. Continue blending for a few seconds once all the butter is added. Taste and adjust with extra salt or lemon juice if needed. Keep the sauce warm while you cook the asparagus.
Bring the water in the pan to the boil. Lay the asparagus on the steamer rack, cover, and steam for 3 to 5 minutes until tender but still crisp. The exact time depends on the thickness of the spears.
Transfer the asparagus to plates, spoon the hollandaise over the top, and serve immediately.
