Description

Master this grilled porterhouse, a steakhouse classic, at home. Go above and beyond and finish it with a blue cheese butter sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 18 oz. porterhouse steak
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 Tbsp crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 sprigs thyme, stripped
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • Granulated garlic

Instructions

  1. Prepare the grill for direct high-heat cooking at 550-600 degrees.
  2. Season porterhouse steak liberally on both sides with salt, pepper and granulated garlic. Let steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  3. Prepare the board sauce by combining butter, thyme and blue cheese in a small bowl.
  4. Spread butter mixture onto finishing cutting board in an even layer about the size of the steak(s). Set aside.
  5. Put porterhouse steak on the grill and cook for 90 seconds. Turn 45 degrees and continue cooking for 90 additional seconds.
  6. Flip and cook on the second side for 3 minutes.
  7. Temp the steaks to your desired doneness. For medium-rare, the temperature should be 120-125. The steaks will rise 5-10 degrees while resting to finish at 130-135.
  8. Remove steaks to the buttered cutting board. The carryover heat from the steaks will melt the butter mixture, creating a board sauce.
  9. Let steaks rest for 3 minutes. Flip and continue resting for 3 more minutes.
  10. Run your knife along the bone to separate the tenderloin from the New York Strip steak.
  11. Slice steaks across the grain and toss in the board juices. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For optimal presentation, put the T-bone on a white plate, slice the steaks and return them in the place where they were once attached. Pour the sauce over the steak.
