1
Preparing the Steak
Remove the porterhouse steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This helps achieve a more even cook.
2
Seasoning the Steak
Generously season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for better flavor.
3
Prepping the Grill
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F). If using charcoal, make sure the coals are glowing red with a light ash. If using a gas grill, allow it to heat up for at least 10-15 minutes.

4
Searing the Steak
Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking. Place the porterhouse steaks on the grill and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.
5
Flipping the Steak
After 4-5 minutes, flip the steaks using tongs. Cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. For added flavor, place a sprig of fresh rosemary and a tablespoon of butter on each steak while cooking.
6
Resting the Steak
Once cooked to desired doneness, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute within the meat.

7
Slicing and Serving
Slice the porterhouse steaks against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your perfectly grilled porterhouse!
