CAST-IRON SKILLET PORTERHOUSE STEAK

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

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.

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 2-pound bone-in porterhouse steak (about 2 inches thick), room temperature
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
Compound Butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Season steak generously all over with salt and pepper. Add butter to skillet. When melted, place steak in skillet. Cook until well seared, about 4 minutes a side. Transfer skillet to oven. Continue to cook until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of steak reads 120 degrees for medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer steak to rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Compound Butter.

Tips for Cooking a Porterhouse Steak:

  • Choosing the Right Steak: Opt for a porterhouse steak that is at least 1 inch thick, well-marbled, and has a good amount of fat. This will ensure a juicy and flavorful steak.
  • Preparing the Steak: Pat the steak dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then season generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Heating the Skillet: Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the steak, as this will help create a nice sear.
  • Cooking the Steak: Once the pan is hot, add the steak and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms. Baste the steak with melted butter or oil during cooking to keep it moist.
  • Testing for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak. For a medium-rare steak, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F. For a medium steak, cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  • Resting the Steak: Once the steak is cooked to your desired doneness, remove it from the pan and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful bite.

Cooking a porterhouse steak in a skillet is a great way to enjoy a delicious and flavorful steak at home.
