Instructions
1
Remove the porterhouse steaks from the fridge and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This step ensures even cooking.
2
While the steaks are warming up, take a moment to appreciate their beautiful marbling and enjoy a refreshing beverage.
3
Generously season both sides of the steaks with coarse salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Avoid pre-made steak seasonings to let the natural flavors of the meat shine.
4
Prepare your grill by heating the coals until they're glowing and hot. Once heated, push the coals to one side of the grill to create both direct and indirect heat zones.
5
Sear the steaks over the hot coals for 1 minute on each side, creating a delicious crust.
6
After searing, move the steaks to the cooler side of the grill (indirect heat) and cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for your desired doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
7
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a tender, juicy bite.
8
Slice and serve, savoring the rich flavors and juicy texture of your Ultimate Grilled Porterhouse Steak. Enjoy!
