BOBBY FLAY'S PERFECT PORTERHOUSE STEAK RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Bobby Flay's Perfect Porterhouse Steak Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by ruthg

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 2" thick Porterhouse steak, trimmed (about 2 pounds)
Vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Unsalted butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking, which will help it cook quickly and more evenly. Heat broiler. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat, then heat oil in pan until smoking. Season steak very generously with salt and pepper and cook until a deep brown crust forms on underside (do not turn), about 4 minutes. Transfer steak to a cutting board, turning it browned side up. Cut meat from bone in 2 pieces (strip steak and filet mignon). Slice both pieces straight down perpendicular to the bone 1" thick. Replace sliced steak around the bone (it should look like a whole sliced steak) and return to skillet, browned side up. Top with butter and broil until butter is melted and steak is medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes. Serve steak with buttery pan juices spooned over.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality porterhouse steak: Look for a steak with good marbling and a rich red color.
  • Bring the steak to room temperature before cooking: This will help it cook more evenly.
  • Season the steak generously with salt and pepper: This will help enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Sear the steak in a hot skillet: This will create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Cook the steak to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak to ensure it is cooked to your liking.
  • Let the steak rest before serving: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.

Conclusion:

The perfect porterhouse steak is a delicious and satisfying meal. By following these tips, you can cook a porterhouse steak that is juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Whether you are grilling, pan-searing, or broiling your steak, these tips will help you achieve the perfect results. So next time you are looking for a special meal, give porterhouse steak a try. You won't be disappointed.
