Grilled Giant Porterhouse Or T Bone With Grilled Exotic Mushrooms Food

GRILLED GIANT PORTERHOUSE (OR T-BONE) WITH GRILLED EXOTIC MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Build a multi-level fire in the grill: Leave 1/4 of the bottom free of coals, bank the coals in the remaining 3/4 of the grill so that they are 3 times as high on 1 side as on the other. When the coals are all ignited and the temperature is hot (Hold hand about 5-inches above grill grid, over the area where coals are deepest, for 2 seconds or less), the grill is ready to cook.
• Pat the steaks dry with paper towels, then rub them all over with 1/4 cup of the olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Place the steaks over the hottest part of the fire and cook until well seared on 1 side, 6 to 8 minutes. Then move them to the medium hot part of the grill and cook, turning once, until they are done the way you like them, 10 to 15 minutes more for rare. Check for doneness.
• Make mushrooms while grilling steaks: Combine the mushrooms, the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil, and the teaspoon of pepper in a large bowl. Toss gently until the mushrooms are well coated and all the oil is absorbed.
• When steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest while grilling mushrooms. Put the mushrooms on the medium-hot part of the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and moist all the way through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Slice the cooked mushrooms and put them back in the bowl along with the butter, parsley, and sherry, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and toss gently to coat.
• To serve, cut the meat away from the bone, then cut it into thick slices. Divide them among 4 serving plates and spoon mushrooms over the top.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. About half an hour before grilling, bring steak to room temperature.
• 2. Pulse parsley, oregano, shallot, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and chile flakes in a small food processor until roughly chopped. Add vinegar, oil, and 1 tablespoon water and pulse to a textured sauce. Transfer sauce to a serving bowl.
• 3. Preheat grill to medium.
• 4. Brush steak with oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Grill steak until seared and lightly charred, turning once, about 11 minutes per side. Hold steak with tongs and sear edges. Cook until an instant-read thermometer, inserted into steak registers 125 degrees F for medium rare.
• 5. Transfer steak to a cutting board, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 10 minutes.
• Slice steak and serve with chimichurri sauce.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Position broiler rack so that top of meat on rack in pan will be about 5 inches from heat source; preheat broiler.
• Combine 1 t. salt, pepper, garlic powder and 1/4 t. dried rosemary; sprinkle over steaks. Place on rack in broiler pan. Broil, turning once, 6-7 minutes per side for medium-rare.
• Meanwhile, in nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and remaining salt and dried rosemary; cook, stirring, until browned, 6-7 minutes. Add vinegar; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in tomatoes.
• Transfer steaks to platter. Top with mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with parsley and garnish with rosemary sprigs.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients and rub both sides of the steak with equal amounts of the mixture.
• Let marinade for 1 to 2 hours.
• Set aside and prepare the grill to medium hot (you'll be able to hold your hand just above the grate for 2 seconds).
• Drain liquid from the steak and rub both sides of the steak with salt.
• Grill the steak on one side for 7 to 10 minutes, keeping the smaller tenderloin section over a less intense heat.
• If there are flare-ups, move the steak to another part of the grill that is cooler.
• Turn the steak and grill for another 6 to 7 minutes. It should be rare to medium rare at this point.
• Medium is about 10 minutes per side.
• Transfer the steak to a wooden carving platter and let it rest for 3 to 4 minutes so the meat relaxes and the juices redistribute.
• Serve it whole or else carve it, slice it, and reassemble it, saving the juices to pour over it.
• Fight over who gets which piece of the steak. LOL.
