Durant's Famous Porterhouse For Two Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Potatoes

   Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

2. 2

   Mash the Potatoes

   Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper to taste. Mash until creamy and smooth, then set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Asparagus

   While the potatoes are cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the trimmed asparagus and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper. Set aside.

4. 4

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the porterhouse steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Preheat your grill or skillet over high heat.

5. 5

   Season the Steak

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

6. 6

   Cook the Steak

   Add olive oil to the grill or skillet. Place the steaks on the heat and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side for medium-rare. Flip the steaks and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.

7. 7

   Make the Garlic Butter

   In the last few minutes of cooking, add butter, minced garlic, and fresh thyme to the skillet. Baste the steaks with the melted garlic butter.

8. 8

   Rest the Steak

   Remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

9. 9

   Serve

   Slice the porterhouse steak and serve alongside the creamy mashed potatoes and sautéed asparagus. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter.
