Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Olive oil
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 2 steaks Porterhouse steak

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Whisk together until fully emulsified.

Step 2

Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), and kosher salt. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Place the porterhouse steaks in a large resealable plastic bag or a glass dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag tightly or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Let the steaks marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 5

Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. Discard the excess marinade.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet to high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Cook the porterhouse steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Serve the porterhouse steaks whole for an impressive presentation, or slice them against the grain for easy serving. Enjoy!
