Perfectly Grilled Porterhouse Steak with Rosemary Butter

Ingredients

• Porterhouse steak (1 (2-inch thick, about 2 pounds))
• Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• Salt (1 teaspoon, or to taste)
• Black pepper (1 teaspoon, freshly cracked, or to taste)
• Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
• Butter (4 tablespoons)
• Fresh rosemary (3 sprigs)

Instructions

1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to achieve a nice sear.
2. Pat the porterhouse steak dry with paper towels. Rub the steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Once the grill is ready, place the steak on it and cook for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness (approximately 6-7 minutes for medium and 8-10 minutes for well done).
4. After grilling, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
5. While the steak is resting, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the fresh rosemary sprigs and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the butter to take on the aromatic flavor of the rosemary.
6. Slice the porterhouse steak against the grain into thick slices. Drizzle the rosemary-infused butter over the sliced steak for added richness and flavor.
7. Serve hot, paired with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
