1
Marinate the Steak (Optional)
If using, combine the fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, crushed garlic cloves, and lemon juice in a bowl. Add the porterhouse steak and coat it with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for more flavor.
2
Bring Steak to Room Temperature
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.
3
Season the Steak
Generously season both sides of the porterhouse steak with kosher salt and black pepper.

4
Preheat the Grill or Pan
Preheat your grill or a cast-iron skillet over high heat for about 5-10 minutes, until very hot.
5
Add Olive Oil
Add olive oil to the grill or skillet just before placing the steak on it to prevent sticking.
6
Cook the Steak
Place the porterhouse steak on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time based on your preferred doneness.
7
Rest the Steak
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

8
Slice and Serve
Slice the porterhouse steak against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
