Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steak

    Take the porterhouse steak out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Steak

    Generously season both sides of the steak with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer.

  4. 4

    Sear the Steak

    Add the porterhouse steak to the skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes on one side until a nice crust forms.

  5. 5

    Flip the Steak

    Flip the steak and add garlic cloves and rosemary to the skillet. Sear for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  6. 6

    Check Doneness

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, it should be about 130°F (54°C).

  7. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Slice against the grain and serve with your choice of sides.
