Steak

Method

Steak Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Take the porterhouse steak out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Pat it dry with paper towels, then generously season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat your grill to high heat or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to the skillet and let it heat until shimmering.

  3. 3

    Cook the Steak

    Place the steak on the grill or skillet. For medium-rare, cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it. Flip the steak and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Adjust the time depending on your preferred doneness.

  4. 4

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Herb Butter Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Herb Butter

    In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, finely chopped rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 6

    Serve with the Steak

    Slice the rested porterhouse steak against the grain. Top with a dollop of the herb butter before serving. Enjoy!
