American · Main course · 30 min total

A show-stopping porterhouse steak, perfect for a romantic dinner or special occasion, seared to perfection and finished in the oven.

Ingredients

• 1 (2-2.5 lb) porterhouse steak, about 1.5 inches thick
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed

Instructions

1. Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. Season generously on all sides with salt and pepper.
3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Heat a heavy oven-safe skillet (cast iron) over high heat until smoking. Add steak and sear for 3 minutes without moving.
5. Flip steak and add butter, rosemary, and garlic to the pan. Tilt pan and spoon melted butter over steak for 1 minute.
6. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare (125°F internal), or to desired doneness.
7. Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
8. Slice steak off the bone and divide between two plates. Spoon pan juices over top.

Tips

• For best results, use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
• Let the steak rest before slicing to retain juices.
• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
