Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature (about 30-60 minutes).

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

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

    Sear the Steak

    Add olive oil to the grill or a large cast-iron skillet. Sear the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side until a crust forms.

  3. 5

    Add Aromatics (Optional)

    If using, add fresh rosemary and crushed garlic cloves to the skillet or grill during the last 2 minutes of cooking for added flavor.
