Compound Butter For Francks Porterhouse Steak Recipes

PERFECT PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, coriander, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, oregano and garlic. Rub the steaks on both sides with the mixture and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Grill the steaks until the internal temperature registers 125 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer for medium rare, 8 to 10 minutes per side. Remove the steaks from the grill, top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the Herb Butter and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the meat from each side of the bone and slice across the grain into strips. Arrange around the bone and top with more Herb Butter for serving.
• In a large bowl, blend the butter, chives, parsley, Worcestershire, salt and pepper until completely combined. Use immediately or wrap into a cylinder in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a month.

PORTERHOUSE STEAKS WITH COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients for the compound butter in a food processor. Puree until smooth and creamy. Scoop the compound butter onto wax paper and roll into a cylinder. Wrap the ends under and refrigerate.

SEARED PORTERHOUSE WITH OOZING MAITRE D' BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the butter: In a medium saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat, then add the shallots. Season with salt, to taste, and cook until they are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the shallots to a medium bowl. Add the green peppercorns, mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk to blend so all of the flavors start to meld together. Use a fork to blend in the other 8 tablespoons of butter. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and stir in the parsley.
• Roll the butter into a cylinder (like cookie dough) in plastic wrap or parchment pepper and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Cook the steak: Heat a cast iron skillet large enough to hold the steak until it begins to visibly smoke. Use a kitchen towel to "blot" any excess moisture from both sides of the steak and season with salt and pepper. Shut the heat off underneath the skillet and use a pair of tongs to put the steak squarely in the pan. Raise the heat high and brown on the first side, 3 to 5 minutes. Resist the temptation to move it as it cooks. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Turn it on its second side and brown for 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat and cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the steak on the edge with the fat "cap" and brown that for 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat and allow the steak to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Slice the maitre d' butter into1/2-inch rounds and set aside.
• Testing for doneness: The simplest way to check for doneness is to make a small incision by the center bone in the thickest part of the steak. It should be a little less cooked than you would like to allow for "carry over" cooking and the "finishing" touch of running the steak under the broiler. For rare, a 2 1/2-inch porterhouse steak should take around 30 to 35 minutes to cook. Add about 4 minutes for medium-rare and 4 additional for medium. If using an instant-read thermometer, rare registers between 125 and 130 degrees F. For medium-rare, 130 to 135 degrees F and between 135 and 140 degrees F for medium.
• Remove the steak from the pan to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into slices and transfer the whole thing to a heatproof platter with the meat still arranged around each side of the center bone. Top the steak with a single layer of the butter slices, put it under the broiler until the butter softens, about 30 to 45 seconds. Serve immediately.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH HERBED BUTTER

Steps:

• Make the herbed butter:
• In a bowl, using a wooden spoon, stir together the herbs and butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon mixture generously into ramekins and use the back of a butter knife to smooth the surface, removing any extra. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
• Cook the steak:
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Let steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Pat steaks dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add 1 tablespoon oil to pan. When oil begins to smoke, add the first steak and cook until brown and crusted, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in pan and spoon over steak to baste. Remove steak from heat and set aside. Wipe out the skillet and repeat with the second steak.
• Place both steaks on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and place in oven to cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the steak registers 120°F for medium-rare, about 5 minutes (or 125°F for medium, about 10 minutes). Transfer steaks to a wooden board to rest, about 10 minutes.
• To serve: Cut meat off both sides of the bone, leaving you with two pieces of steak. Slice each steak across the grain, then rearrange the slices around the bone on a platter. Serve with herbed butter.

FRANCK'S PORTERHOUSE STEAK

Steps:

• Prepare marinade: Combine rosemary sprigs, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow dish or plastic storage bag large enough to hold the steak. Add steak, and season with pepper. Turn to coat, and reseason. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, prepare compound butter.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter. When hot, add steak and a few sprigs of rosemary and garlic from marinade. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn garlic. Lightly season with salt. Transfer to oven for 25 to 30 minutes for medium-rare, turning every 7 to 10 minutes.
• When done, transfer steak to a cutting board, and let rest 5 to 7 minutes before slicing. While steak rests, remove garlic and rosemary from skillet, and heat over medium heat. Add wine, and reduce by about one-third. Add compound butter, and stir until just melted. Remove sauce from heat. Cut meat from both sides of the bone, then slice at an angle into pieces about 1/2 inch thick; do not puncture the meat with the carving fork or you will lose juices. Serve with warm sauce drizzled over the meat.

COMPOUND BUTTER

Steps:

• Stir together all ingredients in a medium bowl with a flexible spatula until well combined.
• Place butter mixture on the center of a sheet of parchment paper, then loosely fold paper in half toward you and roll back and forth to form butter into a log. Then, while pulling parchment taut, push with a straightedge (such as the rim of a baking sheet) to mold into a neat cylinder, pressing hard to remove any air pockets. Wrap parchment around butter, then twist end to seal and tie with twine.
• Refrigerate until firm, about an hour.

PERFECT PORTERHOUSE STEAK

Steps:

• Place steak on a plate and coat lightly with olive oil. Rub steak with meat tenderizer. Sprinkle steak with Canadian steak seasoning and gently rub into steak. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
• Unwrap steaks and grill on open flame or charcoal grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or to your desired degree of doneness.

PORTERHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Preheat a gas or charcoal grill or place a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Combine salt and pepper and sprinkle on both sides of each steak. Drizzle each side of steaks with canola oil.
• Grill for 4 to 6 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let the steaks rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.

BUTTER BOMBED PORTERHOUSE STEAKS

Steps:

• Place the pepper flakes in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over them. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes to rehydrate the flakes. Combine all of the remaining marinade ingredients in a blender, or in a bowl using an immersion/stick blender. Stir in the pepper flakes and the soaking water.
• Place the steaks in an extra-large resealable plastic bag (or divide between two large bags). Pour over the marinade, squeeze any excess air from the bag, and close. Roll the bag to evenly coat the meat in the marinade, and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to 3.
• Place a lightly oiled cast-iron griddle on one area of a well-oiled charcoal or gas grill. Preheat all areas to high.
• In a small saucepan, combine all of the resting butter ingredients, stirring to combine as the butter melts. Pour about ½ cup of the butter into small bowl and set aside. Pour the remainder into a baking dish or disposable aluminum pan, preferably a 13 ½ X 9 5/8 X 2 3/4 inch lasagna pan.
• Remove steaks from the bag, letting any excess marinade drip into the bag. Lightly pat dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper and, using your hands or a brush, evenly, but lightly, coat with canola oil.
• It is preferable that the steaks be moved to a clean area of the griddle and grate every time they are flipped. Depending on the griddle and grill size, they may need to be cooked in batches to ensure there is a clean portion of the grill to flip to.
• Place the steaks on the griddle, close the lid, and do not move them for 3 minutes. Flip the steaks over on the griddle, close the lid and do not move them for 3 minutes. Aggressively rub the bone and both sides of the steak with the whole garlic (you may want to move each steak off of the heat temporarily), then brush with the ½ cup of butter.
• Transfer the steaks to the grate.
• Continue to grill with the lid open, flipping, jockeying, and stacking throughout the cooking until you reach the desired doneness; about 3 minutes per side for rare, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare, about 5 minutes per side for medium, about 6 minutes per side for well-done.
• Remove the steaks from the grill, place in the resting butter, turn to coat, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, clean and re-oil the grill grates.
• Place the steaks back on the grate and do not move them for 1 minute. Flip them over and repeat for 1 minute. Remove from the grill, place in the pan with the butter, and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Drizzle some of the resting butter on the board and top with the steaks. Cut to separate the meat from the bone and slice the meat on a diagonal into ¼-inch slices. Dredge in the butter and top with and sprinkle with fleur de sel and pepper.
