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.

LOBEL'S CLASSIC GRILLED PORTERHOUSE STEAK

Steps:

• Trim the outer fat from the steak (or ask the butcher to do so). Rub the fat with the cut lemon to prevent burning and smoking. Score both sides of the tail of the steak and then fold it back towards the main body and attach it to the meat with a small metal skewer or sturdy wooden skewer. (If using a wooden skewer, soak it in water for about 20 minutes first).
• Combine the olive oil, garlic, scallions, salt and pepper in a glass or ceramic dish. Put the steak in the dish and turn several times to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for as long as 4 hours. Turn the meat once or twice during marinating.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot to hot. Lift the steak from the marinade. Discard the marinade. Grill the steak, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes. Turn and grill, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes longer for medium-rare, or until it reaches the desired degree of doneness. Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving.

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.

• Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 9 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 130°F. for medium-rare. (Alternatively, steaks may be broiled on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from heat.) Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand 10 minutes.
• Serve steaks sliced.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE PERFECTION !!!!

Steps:

• 1. Remove your Steaks from the fridge at least an hour before you plan on grilling, let them rest on the counter. At this time go ahead and make your Blue Cheese Butter topping (goes great with a nice piece of grilled beef) in a small bowl combine butter, blue cheese crumbles and ground pepper. mix well but be careful not to overwork, roll mixture in saran wrap and refrigerate while the Steaks are resting.
• 2. At the 1 hour mark go fire up the grill, for this size steak I use the gas version, strictly because the level of heat that it will maintain on a consistent basis. While the grill is heating up lightly season your steaks on both sides with black pepper and sea salt. When the grill has reached proper "sear" temperature place the meat on the grill and close the lid.....leave them alone for 3-4 min per side to get the proper sear and to lock in the juices, if necessary arrange steak where it is not getting blasted by the flame and reduce heat level to "Grill" setting 500* continue to cook to your desired doneness "Med Rare" is perfect for this large cut of meat which is usually 4-5 min per side.
• 3. When you remove Steaks from the grill it is VERY important to allow the meat to REST, the steak will actually continue to cook while sitting on your platter brush steak lightly with melted butter. At the 5 minute mark remove your blue cheese butter from the fridge, slice it right through the saran wrap, plate your steaks and top with a nice slice of Blue cheese butter and a dash of salt and pepper......leave the A-1 in the pantry, you will not need it!!!!!!
