Porterhouse Steak Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.

3. 3

   Heat the Pan

   In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it's shimmering but not smoking.

4. 4

   Sear the Steak

   Add the porterhouse steak to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side until a golden-brown crust forms.

5. 5

   Flip the Steak

   Flip the steak and add the smashed garlic cloves and rosemary to the skillet. Cook for another 4-5 minutes.

   Add Butter

   Add the butter to the skillet and baste the steak with the melted butter using a spoon for an additional 2-3 minutes.

7. 7

   Check for Doneness

   Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

8. 8

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
