Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preparation
Remove the Porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking. This helps to ensure even cooking.
- 2
Seasoning
Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, pressing it into the meat to adhere.
- 3
Searing
In a large cast-iron skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over high heat until it is shimmering. Add the garlic cloves and fresh rosemary for flavor.
- 4
Cooking the Steak
Carefully place the steak in the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (130°F for medium-rare).
- 5
Resting
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- 6
Slicing and Serving
Slice the steak against the grain and serve with your choice of side dishes.
