1
Season the steak
Generously season the porterhouse steak on both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.

2
Prepare the grill or pan
Preheat your grill to high heat or heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add olive oil to the pan if using.
3
Sear the steak
Place the seasoned porterhouse steak on the grill or in the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.
4
Add aromatics (optional)
In the last few minutes of cooking, add fresh rosemary and crushed garlic cloves to the skillet for additional flavor.
5
Rest the steak
Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

6
Slice and serve
Slice the porterhouse steak against the grain and serve immediately. Enjoy!
