Salt Roasted Porterhouse Recipes

BROILED PORTERHOUSE WITH ROASTED GARLIC AND LEMON

Steps:

• The night before you serve the steaks, season them liberally with salt on both sides and store in the refrigerator overnight. Remove them from the fridge 45 minutes before cooking, to take the chill off.
• Turn the oven to broil.
• Prepare your pan(s). Note: depending on the size of the steaks and the size of your pan, you may need two pans. If using the bacon, place in a large cast-iron pan(s) and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan, leaving the melted bacon fat, and set aside for another use. If using the cold bacon fat, add it to a cast-iron pan(s) over medium-high heat and melt.
• Open a window or two because it may get a little smoky. Place the steaks in the pan(s) and place under the broiler for 4 minutes. Flip the steaks carefully and return to the broiler for another 4 minutes.
• At this point your steaks will be about medium rare. Leave them under the broiler a little longer if you prefer them more cooked.
• Spread the Roasted Garlic Schmear over the tops of the steaks. Let rest for 5 minutes, and then slice and serve.
• Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl or a mortar and pestle. Mix to combine.

DRY RUBBED PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH BAGNA CAUDA SAUCE, ROASTED CAULIFLOWER, PORCINI HASH AND POACHED EGG, AND TUSCAN KALE CHIPS

Steps:

• For the steak: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine the salt, sugar, porcini powder, pimenton, garlic powder and cayenne pepper in a bowl, using your fingers to make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. Rub the outsides of each steak generously with the rub, and then let sit 20 minutes. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
• When the grill pan is very hot, cook the steaks until well charred on both sides. Transfer to a sheet tray in the oven, 5 minutes, and then remove and let rest in a warm spot, 10 minutes. Cut the steaks off the bones, and slice on the bias across the grain.
• For the bagna cauda sauce: Heat the olive oil, red pepper flakes, anchovies and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook, 10 minutes. At the last minute before serving, whisk in the butter, 2 pats at a time, waiting for the butter to almost melt before incorporating more. Spoon the sauce into ramekins.
• Drizzle the steak with extra-virgin olive oil and serve immediately with the Bagna Cauda, garnished with parsley. Plate the Porcini Hash topped with a poached egg and Roasted Cauliflower, and stack the Tuscan Kale Chips on a plate. Serve alongside the steaks.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and season with salt. Spread out on a sheet pan and roast until the cauliflower is golden and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the kale in a bowl, drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat the leaves, and then arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until just crisp, about 8 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the mushrooms until golden brown, about 8 minutes, and then pour in the white wine and reduce until evaporated. Season with salt and remove from the heat.
• Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add in the white vinegar and reduce to a simmer. Carefully break and add the eggs and poach, about 3 minutes. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon or spider, drain slightly over the water, and tap on a paper towel to remove any excess water. Sprinkle lightly with salt.

BROILED PORTERHOUSE WITH SALMORIGLIO

Steps:

• For the salmoriglio: In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic, rosemary, thyme, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil and salt. Set aside at room temperature for at least 45 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours to let the flavors marry.
• For the steak: Remove the porterhouse from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking; preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In a 12-inch stainless steel or cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat for 3 minutes. Sprinkle the steak all over with the salt. When the oil begins to show slight wisps of smoke, add the steak to the pan and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Flip the steak and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast for 7 to 10 minutes for medium doneness. Remove from the oven and immediately spoon 2 tablespoons of the salmoriglio over the steak. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with the remaining salmoriglio.

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.
