Meat and Seasoning

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Remove the porterhouse steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes before cooking. This helps them cook more evenly.

  2. 2

    Seasoning

    Generously season both sides of the steaks with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Pat the seasoning into the meat.

  3. 3

    Searing the Steak

    Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully place the steaks in the skillet.

  4. 4

    Cooking Time

    Sear the steaks for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C). Adjust the time for your desired doneness.

  5. 5

    Resting

    Remove the steaks from the skillet and transfer them to a cutting board. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.

  6. 6

    Serving

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