Categories     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Steak     Summer     Small Plates

Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

For the herbed butter:
1/4 cup mixed fresh herbs, such as chives, thyme leaves, and marjoram leaves, finely chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
For the steak:
2 porterhouse steaks, (2-inch thick), about 4 pounds
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Make the herbed butter:
  • In a bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the herbs and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture generously into ramekins and use the back of a butter knife to smooth the surface, removing any extra. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
  • Cook the steak:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Let steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon oil to pan. When oil begins to smoke, add the first steak and cook until brown and crusted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in pan and spoon over steak to baste. Remove steak from heat and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with the second steak.
  • Place both steaks on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and place in oven to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes (or 125°F for medium, about 10 minutes). Transfer steaks to a wooden board to rest, about 10 minutes.
  • To serve: Cut meat off both sides of the bone, leaving you with two pieces of steak. Slice each steak across the grain, then rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Serve with herbed butter.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 2- to 2 1/2-inch-thick porterhouse steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons butter, cubed
Optional additions: garlic cloves and sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary

Steps:

  • Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the broiler. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  • Season the steak heavily with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the steak in the skillet and do not move it. Cook until a nice sear forms, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut both the filet and sirloin from the bone. Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Put the bone back into the skillet and reassemble the steak around it (it should look like the steak originally did) with the seared side up. Top with pieces of butter. Add a couple cloves of garlic and a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, if desired.
  • Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes for medium. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the pan drippings over the steak.
