Perfect Porterhouse Steak
  1. Take out your steak 30 minutes or so before cooking to let it come to room temperature.

  2. Season generously with salt & pepper. Do not be shy with the salt- this is a big steak and it can handle it!

  3. Heat up your skillet over medium high heat until extremely hot.

  4. Add no more than a tablespoon of vegetable oil and allow it to heat to almost smoking.

  5. Add your steak seasoned side down and repeat salt & pepper on top side.

  6. Cook until a deep brown crust forms (do not turn!) for 4-5 min.

  7. Remove steak from skillet and place on a cutting board, turning it brown side up.

  8. Cut meat from bone (as close as you can get). Now, cut 1” segments perpendicular – or horizontal to the bone.

  9. Replace sliced steak, brown side up, and bone to the skillet (like a meat puzzle) and top with butter.

  10. Cook another 4-7 minutes. This should be about medium rare. You can check in-between slices for doneness.

  11. Remove from pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
