Ingredients

  • 1 pc porterhouse steak((about 2 lbs or 2lb), 2-3 inches thick)
  • 1 tbsp salt(coarse sea salt)
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper(freshly ground)

Lemon-Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter(softened)
  • 1 pc lemon(zested and juiced)
  • 2 pcs garlic(cloves, minced)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley(chopped)

Instructions

Prepare the Steak

  1. Remove the porterhouse steak from the refrigerator at least 1 hour before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Pat it dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. Season the steak generously on all sides with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Make the Lemon-Garlic Butter

  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  2. Set aside or refrigerate briefly if not using immediately.

Grill the Steak

  1. Preheat your grill to high heat (about 500-550°F or 260-290°C) for direct searing. Ensure the grates are clean.
  2. Place the seasoned steak on the hot grill. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side for a rare to medium-rare doneness, flipping only once.
  3. For a perfect internal temperature of 125-130°F (52-54°C) for rare, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak, avoiding the bone.
  4. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak from the grill and transfer it to a cutting board.

Rest and Serve

  1. Generously spread the lemon-garlic butter over the hot steak immediately after removing it from the grill. The butter will melt and create a delicious sauce.
  2. Tent the steak loosely with foil and let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and flavorful steak.
  3. Slice the steak against the grain and serve immediately, drizzling with any remaining melted butter sauce.
