Porterhouse Steak With Herb Butter Cowboy Kent Rollins Food

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.

CAST-IRON SKILLET PORTERHOUSE STEAK

Steps:

• Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Season the steak heavily with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the steak in the skillet and do not move it. Cook until a nice sear forms, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut both the filet and sirloin from the bone. Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Put the bone back into the skillet and reassemble the steak around it (it should look like the steak originally did) with the seared side up. Top with pieces of butter. Add a couple cloves of garlic and a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, if desired.
• Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes for medium. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the pan drippings over the steak.

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.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH BROWN BUTTER, BLUE CHEESE AND CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri: Combine all of the herbs in a medium bowl. Add the oil, garlic and chile flakes and stir to combine. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Stir in the vinegar just before serving to keep the color bright green. Season with salt and pepper, then taste and add honey, if needed.
• Meanwhile, prepare the steak: Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it cook quickly and more evenly.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat, then heat the oil until smoking. Season the steak very generously with salt and pepper and cook just on one side, undisturbed, until a deep brown crust forms on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Transfer the steak, browned-side up, to a cutting board.
• Cut the steak off the bone in 2 pieces--the strip steak on one side and filet mignon on the other. Slice both pieces 1 inch thick straight down, perpendicular to the bone. Return the bone to the skillet and reassemble the sliced steak around it, browned-side up, to resemble the whole steak. Top with the butter and broil until the butter is melted and golden brown and the steak is medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes, spooning some of the butter and pan juices over the steak as it cooks. Scatter the cheese over the top and broil for 1 more minute. Serve the steak with buttery pan juices spooned over and the chimichurri on the side.
