Porterhouse For Two Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

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

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Pan

   Preheat your grill or a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the olive oil once hot.

4. 4

   Cook the Steak

   Place the steak on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms. Flip the steak.

5. 5

   Add Flavorings

   After flipping, add the garlic cloves, rosemary sprigs, and butter to the skillet. Baste the steak with the melted butter and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

6. 6

   Check for Doneness

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

7. 7

   Rest the Steak

   Once done, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

8. 8

   Serve

   Slice the steak and serve it on a platter, optionally garnished with additional fresh rosemary.
