Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to high heat, ensuring it's hot enough to achieve a nice sear.
- 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.
- 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).
- After grilling, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- 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.
- Slice the porterhouse steak against the grain into thick slices. Drizzle the rosemary-infused butter over the sliced steak for added richness and flavor.
- Serve hot, paired with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy!
Tips
- For an even deeper flavor, marinate the steak in olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper for a few hours or overnight before grilling.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well done.
