Family Style Porterhouse Steak with Rosemary and Lemon

Serves 4

Learn how to cook a thick porterhouse steak to perfection with this easy, step-by-step recipe. Lemon and rosemary add deep flavor to this hearty steak.

Ingredients:

1 (40oz) Certified Angus Beef ® Porterhouse Steak

1 lemon 

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper (Kampot Whole Black Peppercorns suggested)

1 tablespoon chopped garlic (2-3 cloves)

1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

2 large sprigs rosemary 

1 tablespoon olive oil (for grilling) or 2 tablespoons butter (for pan roasting)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (Murray River Pink Sea Salt suggested) 

Instructions:

Zest and juice lemon, reserving zest for later. Combine the lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt and pepper. Coat porterhouse steak evenly then place in large zipper-locking plastic bag with rosemary. Make sure to press out all of the air or wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, overnight is suggested. 

Follow the instructions below for your preferred cooking method. 

Once steak is cooked, transfer to a clean cutting board. Combine reserved lemon zest with the sea salt.

Carve steak by running knife along the bone to remove both the strip and tenderloin. Slice each steak in 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and serve on a platter. Garnish with lemon and sea salt. 

Grilling:

Preheat grill to warm (250°F)

Wrap porterhouse in foil, place on grill away from direct heat and cook slowly for 60-90 minutes, flipping once (internal temperature target should be 100°F). Remove steak from grill and increase grill heat to high (450°F-500°F). Allow steak to rest 15 minutes in foil while grill is heating to higher temperature. 

Remove steak from foil, pat dry then brush with olive oil and sear 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare (125°F-130°F). Transfer to a clean cutting board. 

Pan Roasting:

Preheat oven to 275°F

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter (or drizzle olive oil) in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 3 1/2 minutes then flip in pan and cook for another 3 1/2 minutes. 

Place steak on baking sheet and put in oven until internal temperature is 130°F for medium rare. Transfer to a clean cutting board.
