Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Pat the steak dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, then generously season with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Pan

    Preheat your grill to high heat, or heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Place the seasoned porterhouse steak on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving it, until a nice crust forms.

  3. 5

    Flip the Steak

    Carefully flip the steak using tongs and cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time to your preferred doneness.

  4. 6

    Add Butter and Herbs (Optional)

    In the last minute of cooking, add butter and rosemary to the skillet or on the grill. Spoon the melted butter over the steak to enhance the flavor.

Resting

  1. 7

    Let it Rest

    Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 8

    Slice and Serve

    Slice the porterhouse steak against the grain and serve with your favorite sides.
