Porterhouse Steak With Creamy Leek Sauce Food

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.

EL PASEO PORTERHOUSE STEAK

Steps:

• Season the meat before broiling: liberally rub salt over both sides of the steak. Place the steak directly onto the broiler, no extra fat is needed, at 1200 degrees for 20 minutes. After 10 minutes turn the steaks over and return to the broiler: they only need turning once. After 20 minutes, remove the steak from the broiler. Place the steak in the clarified butter, sage, thyme and garlic mixture, and leave to rest for 10 minutes, basting the top with butter. Remove the steak from the clarified butter and place on kitchen roll to remove any excess. To serve, separate the fillet and strip sirloin from the bone and slice. Place the T-bone in the centre of the plate and reassemble the steak, with the sliced sirloin to the left and sliced fillet to the right. Sprinkle over freshly ground black pepper to taste. Place the shallot butter on top of each steak, and garnish with half a garlic bulb taken from the clarified butter, a sprig of thyme and a generous drizzle of garlic butter.
