Ingredients

• 2 pieces (each about 1.5 inches thick) Porterhouse steak
• 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Remove the porterhouse steaks from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking.

Step 2

Season both sides of the steaks generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pat the seasoning into the meat for better adhesion.

Step 3

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it is very hot but not smoking. Add the olive oil and allow it to shimmer.

Step 4

Carefully place the steaks into the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving them to develop a deep, golden-brown crust.

Step 5

Flip the steaks and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet.

Step 6

As the butter melts, tilt the skillet slightly and use a spoon to continuously baste the steaks with the flavored butter. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130°F). Adjust cooking time for desired doneness.

Step 7

Carefully remove the steaks from the pan and transfer them to a plate or cutting board. Tent them loosely with aluminum foil and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 8

Slice the steaks against the grain for maximum tenderness, or serve whole. Spoon any remaining pan juices over the top for added flavor, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes or a fresh salad.
