Porterhouse With Jalapeno 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.

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.

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. 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 jalapeño butter.

RIB-EYE WITH JALAPENO BUTTER

Steps:

• Stir together butter, jalapeno, and garlic in a small bowl. Heat grill to medium-high, with an indirect-heat zone. Generously season both sides of steak with kosher salt and pepper. Lightly brush grates with oil.
• Grill steak over direct heat until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat; cook, covered, turning once, until a thermometer inserted in thickest part (avoiding bone) registers 125 degrees to 130 degrees for medium-rare, 7 to 8 minutes more per side. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes. Spread about 2 tablespoons jalapeno butter on steak; sprinkle with flaky salt. Serve with greens, onions, and more jalapeno butter on the side.
