Marinate the Steak (Optional)
If you wish to marinate your Porterhouse steak, combine minced garlic cloves, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Place the steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
