1
Season the Steak
Take the Porterhouse steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This helps to ensure even cooking. Pat it dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
2
Sear the Steak
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat until it begins to shimmer. Carefully place the seasoned Porterhouse steak in the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time if you prefer it more or less cooked.

3
Prepare the Herb Butter
While the steak is cooking, in a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, and minced garlic until well combined. You can use a fork or a spatula for this. Set aside.

4
Rest the Steak
Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the skillet and allow it to rest on a cutting board for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute.
5
Serve with Herb Butter
Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with the prepared herb butter. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Porterhouse steak!
