Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Season the Steak

    Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This allows for more even cooking.

  2. 2

    Apply Seasoning

    Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Rub the seasonings into the meat to ensure they adhere well.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill to high heat or heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. If using a skillet, add the olive oil once hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    If using a grill, place the steak directly onto the grill grates. If using a skillet, place the steak in the hot oil. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time as necessary for desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    After resting, slice the steak against the grain into thick slices. Serve with fresh rosemary sprigs and lemon wedges on the side to enhance the flavors.
