Porterhouse Steak Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Steak

   Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures even cooking.

2. 2

   Season the Steak

   Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt and black pepper. Make sure to rub the seasoning into the meat for better flavor.

3. 3

   Preheat the Grill or Skillet

   Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450-500°F) or heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat on the stove. If using a skillet, add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Add Garlic and Rosemary

   If using a skillet, add the garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs to the oil. This will infuse the oil with flavor.

5. 5

   Cook the Steak

   Place the steak on the grill or in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, using a meat thermometer to check for doneness (130-135°F).

6. 6

   Rest the Steak

   Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the heat and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.

7. 7

   Slice and Serve

   After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
