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.
