Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the steak

    Take the porterhouse steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the steak

    Generously season both sides of each steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Let them sit for another 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat the grill or pan

    Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. If using a skillet, add olive oil once it’s hot.

  4. 4

    Sear the steak

    Place the steaks on the grill or skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to get a nice crust.

  5. 5

    Flip and add aromatics

    Flip the steaks and add rosemary sprigs and crushed garlic cloves to the pan. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare or longer for desired doneness.

  6. 6

    Rest the steak

    Remove the steaks from the grill or skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

  7. 7

    Slice and serve

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides.
