Porterhouse with Jalapeno Butter image

Dress up steak with compound -- meaning flavored -- butter, which is surprisingly simple to make. A T-bone steak would also work here, just be sure to adjust grilling time as needed to account for the smaller cut.

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 fresh jalapeno chile, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 porterhouse steak (2 1/2 pounds, 1 1/2 inches thick), room temperature
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high (if you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Stir butter, jalapeno, and garlic in a bowl; set aside.
  • Season both sides of steak with salt and pepper. Grill over hotter part of grill, covered, flipping once, until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Slide to cooler part of grill; grill, covered, flipping once, until medium-rare, 7 to 8 minutes more per side. Remove from grill, and let rest 10 minutes. Serve with jalapeno butter. Filet mignon can be prepared this way as well. Sear two 8-ounce steaks over direct heat for three minutes per side; grill over indirect heat until medium-rare, five to six minutes more per side.
