Porterhouse With Jalapeño Butter Recipes

PORTERHOUSE WITH JALAPENO BUTTER

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.

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.

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.

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.

• 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 WITH JALAPEñO BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat a 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, jalapeño, 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.

BROILED PORTERHOUSE STEAKS WITH MUSTARD

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Combine minced onion, olive oil, mustard, butter, salt, and pepper in a small mixing bowl. Spread mixture over each steak and put steaks on a broiler pan.
• Broil in the preheated oven until they are beginning to firm and are hot and slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.
