How To Grill A Porterhouse Steak
Instructions
* Before you grill the porterhouse steaks, leave them at room temperature for 2 hours. This will keep them from over-charring on the grill.
* Season the steak with seasoning salt or salt and pepper.
* Make sure the grill is hot prior to cooking the steaks, at least 500600 degrees.
* Resist the urge to flip them once the steaks are on the grill. You want a crust to form that will lock in the juices and flavor.
* Keep the lid closed while you grill the porterhouse steaks. This will allow the steaks to grill quickly and be heated and seared on all sides.
* Turn steaks over on opposite side in 5 minutes. Put lid back down. Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes to reach medium rare, or 5-6 minutes to reach medium.
* To tell the temperature, you can use a simple hand test to determine the doneness of your grilled porterhouse steaks.
o For medium rare, the steak should feel like the sponge area of your thumb.
o For medium, the steak should feel like the middle of your palm, a bit firmer.
o For medium well, the steak should feel like the base of your pinkie finger.
* A medium rare steak will have a warm, red center.
* A medium steak will have a hot, pink center.
