TUSCAN PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH RED WINE-PEPPERCORN JUS

Tuscan Porterhouse Steak with Red Wine-Peppercorn Jus image

A porterhouse is the perfect steak for two to share because it contains good-sized portions of two of the most prized muscles in a steer, each located on either side of the center bone. The top loin, the larger of the two, is the same piece of gorgeous meat as that steakhouse staple, the New York strip. The tenderloin, attached to the other side of the bone, may be smaller, but it's a much larger portion (technically, it has to be 1 1/4-inches in diameter) than you get in a T-bone steak. If you can find dry aged, try it. It's a bit more expensive but yields more tender and flavorful meat. We pan-roast the steak with the Tuscan stalwarts of garlic, rosemary, and thyme, then serve it with a velvety red wine reduction.

Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 (1 1/2-pound) porterhouse steak (1- to 1 1/4-inches thick)
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, coarsely crushed (see Cooks' Notes)
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoon pieces, divided
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 (4-inch) sprigs fresh rosemary
5 sprigs fresh thyme
1/2 cup medium-bodied dry red wine (such as Chianti, Rioja, or merlot)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Special Equipment
ovenproof 12-inch heavy skillet

Steps:

Let steak sit at room temperature 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F.
Pat steak dry and season both sides with peppercorns and kosher salt. Heat oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in skillet over medium heat until butter melts. Add rosemary, thyme, and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until herbs and garlic are fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add steak and cook until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 110°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes (or 120°F for medium, about 10 minutes).
Transfer steak with tongs to a small platter, reserving skillet, and let rest 10 minutes.
While steak rests, pour off oil from skillet, leaving garlic and herbs in skillet. Add wine and boil over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and any meat juices from platter and boil until reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons butter until incorporated, then season with salt and keep warm.
To carve: Transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut meat off both sides of the bone (you should have two solid pieces of steak). Thinly slice each piece, then rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Drizzle with the jus.

BISTECCA ALLA FIORENTINA (TUSCAN PORTERHOUSE)

Bistecca alla Fiorentina (Tuscan Porterhouse) image

This flagship, Tuscan steak is made from the region's Chianina breed of cattle which are prized for their tenderness and flavor. In typical Italian style, simplicity rules the day; little more than olive oil, rosemary, and salt are needed to highlight the rich flavor of the grilled meat. With Italian food, freshness and quality are top priority, so I use nothing less than choice porterhouse, and much prefer prime!

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

4 sprigs fresh rosemary, chopped
1 (2 1/2 pound) choice or prime porterhouse steak
3 tablespoons Tuscan olive oil
Moist, grey sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
6 lemon wedges

Steps:

Press chopped rosemary onto both sides of porterhouse steak; set onto a plate and allow to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Start an outdoor grill using hardwood charcoal, such as hickory. When coals are white and glowing, arrange for high heat.
Gently brush or rub olive oil onto steak, then season to taste with sea salt and pepper.
Place steak onto grill, and cook until a dark, golden brown (not burnt) crust forms, 5 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of meat. Turn over, and continue cooking until golden on the other side, 5 to 10 minutes more. When finished, place steak onto a platter, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
To serve, remove the two pieces of meat from the bone, and replace the bone onto the serving platter. Trim any unwanted fat from the round (tenderloin) steak, slice into 6 equal pieces at an angle to the grain, and fan out on one side of the bone. Slice the rectangular (loin) steak into 1/4-inch slices at an angle to the grain. Fan out on the other side of the bone. Finish by garnishing the platter with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of additional sea salt.

Time 25m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

2 (10 ounce) porterhouse steaks
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ cup olive oil, divided
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 medium lemon, cut into quarters

Steps:

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Season steaks with salt and pepper.
Cook steaks on the preheated grill until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, about 12 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
While the steaks are cooking, place garlic in a microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle some salt over top and pour in 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Mash garlic with the back of a sturdy knife into a fine paste. Stir in remaining oil and red pepper flakes. Heat in the microwave until hot, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, mixing every 30 seconds.
Remove steaks from the oven and let sit covered for 4 to 5 minutes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil mixture over each steak and squeeze lemon wedges over top.

Tips:

Choose high-quality ingredients: Use the best quality ingredients you can find, especially for the steak and the vegetables. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish.
Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and thyme.
Cook the steak to your liking: The best way to cook a steak is to use a meat thermometer to ensure that it is cooked to your desired doneness. For a medium-rare steak, cook it to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit.
Let the steak rest before slicing: After cooking the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
Pair the steak with your favorite sides: Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad. You can also add a sauce, such as a chimichurri sauce or a red wine sauce.
