Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Seasoning the Steak

    Remove the porterhouse steaks from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Generously season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. If using a grill, ensure that the grates are clean and lightly oiled.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Searing the Steak

    Drizzle olive oil over the steaks and place them on the hot grill or skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them.

  2. 4

    Flipping the Steak

    Flip the steaks using tongs and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on your preferred doneness.

  3. 5

    Basting (Optional)

    If desired, add butter, garlic, and rosemary to the pan during the last minute of cooking. Use a spoon to baste the steaks with the melted butter for extra flavor.

  4. 6

    Resting the Steak

    Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 7

    Slicing and Serving

    Slice the porterhouse steak against the grain and serve with your choice of sides. Enjoy!
