Porterhouse is my favorite cut of steak and this is a great way to make it. Adapted from "Weber's Charcoal Grilling" by Jamie Purviance.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 porterhouse steaks, 1 to 1 1/4 pounds each, about 1 1/4 inches thick, trimmed of excess fat
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups beef stock (I use homemade, unsalted)
1 cup dry red wine
1/2 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon thyme (or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons butter, unsalted, cut into two equal pieces

Steps:

  • Coat the steaks on both sides with the olive oil and season evenly with the rosemary, salt and pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Prepare a charcoal fire covering one-half or two-thirds of the charcoal grate (a "two-zone" fire; if using a gas grill, turn flame to high heat).
  • Sear the steaks over the fire, with the lid closed as much as possible, for 6 minutes, turning once and swapping their places as needed for even cooking. Then move the steaks away from the fire ("indirect heat"; if using a gas grill, reduce the heat to medium) and cook until done to your taste, 4 to 6 minutes for medium rare. Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Bring the sauce ingredients (except the butter) to a simmer and whisk in the butter until emulsified. Remove from heat.
  • Carve the steaks and serve warm with the red wine sauce.
