A T-bone steak would also work in this recipe, but take into account whether the cut is smaller than the standard porterhouse and adjust the cooking time as needed.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 sprigs fresh rosemary
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 cup pinot noir wine, or another robust red wine
Compound Butter for Franck's Porterhouse Steak

Steps:

  • Prepare marinade: Combine rosemary sprigs, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow dish or plastic storage bag large enough to hold the steak. Add steak, and season with pepper. Turn to coat, and reseason. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, prepare compound butter.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter. When hot, add steak and a few sprigs of rosemary and garlic from marinade. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn garlic. Lightly season with salt. Transfer to oven for 25 to 30 minutes for medium-rare, turning every 7 to 10 minutes.
  • When done, transfer steak to a cutting board, and let rest 5 to 7 minutes before slicing. While steak rests, remove garlic and rosemary from skillet, and heat over medium heat. Add wine, and reduce by about one-third. Add compound butter, and stir until just melted. Remove sauce from heat. Cut meat from both sides of the bone, then slice at an angle into pieces about 1/2 inch thick; do not puncture the meat with the carving fork or you will lose juices. Serve with warm sauce drizzled over the meat.

HERBED COMPOUND BUTTER



Herbed Compound Butter image

A compound butter - a stick of butter seasoned with herbs, lemon and garlic or shallots - is one of the most versatile things to keep on hand. You can store it in the freezer, then slice it whenever you want to add herby richness to a dish. Use it on steak, fish, chicken or even mashed or roasted sweet potatoes. And feel free to vary the herbs to suit your taste. For a kick, a pinch or two of chile powder or a drizzle of hot sauce would do the trick. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master. Buy the book.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH HERBED BUTTER



Porterhouse Steak with Herbed Butter image

Provided by Diana Yen

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.

COMPOUND BUTTER

Serve this chive and parsley compound butter alongside a Seared Porterhouse Steak or roasted salmon.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking

Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Generous pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl with a flexible spatula until well combined.
  • Place butter mixture on the center of a sheet of parchment paper, then loosely fold paper in half toward you and roll back and forth to form butter into a log. Then, while pulling parchment taut, push with a straightedge (such as the rim of a baking sheet) to mold into a neat cylinder, pressing hard to remove any air pockets. Wrap parchment around butter, then twist end to seal and tie with twine.
  • Refrigerate until firm, about an hour.

Tips:

  • To make the compound butter, first soften the butter at room temperature until it is easily spreadable.
  • Then add the parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper to the butter and mix until well combined.
  • Next, roll the butter into a log and wrap it in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate the butter for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • When grilling the steak, cook it over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired doneness.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • To serve, top the steak with a pat of compound butter and enjoy!
