Have you enjoyed a Porterhouse steak? It's not just any steak, it is two amazing cuts in one! This massive piece of meat combines the tenderness of Filet Mignon with the full-flavored classic of a New York strip cut. Definitely a match made in Heaven, just like you and that special someone on a weekend night grilling this extravaganza dinner. No matter what side you choose, you're destined for a meal to remember.

 
   Ingredients:
Gas or Charcoal Grill
Thermometer
How to grill a Porterhouse Steak: 
  1. Turn your gas grill to a medium-high temperature. You don't want your grill bursting with flames. Using a charcoal grill, ensure your coals are medium hot, without any visible flames. 
  2. Clean the grill with a brush to remove any grease from previous grilling.
  3. Season your steak with Saltgrass 7 Spice Seasoning, not too heavy on both sides. Let your seasoned steak sit for a few minutes.
  4. To keep the steak from sticking to the grates, oil your steak. You can also oil your grates, but the easier method is to oil your steak with a vegetable spray before it goes onto the grill. Do not spay a vegetable spray directly on the grill grates; they will burst into flames.
  5. Place your steak under a 45-degree angle on the grill, giving you nice diamond shape grill marks. 
  6. Keep it on one side for 2-3 minutes while you see the steak nicely done. Once it is done, flip it to the other side and let it sit for another few minutes.
  7. If you have the top closed, keep an eye on your temperature. If it goes above your comfort, open up the grill to release excess heat.
  8. To measure the doneness of your steak, use a meat thermometer. Put your thermometer on the thickest side of your steak. You want to reach 115 - 120°F for medium rare and around 130°F for medium. For a full doneness chart, click here. 
  9. Flip your steak one more time on both sides for 1-2 minutes. Porterhouse steak cooks a bit less around the bone.
  10. Take your steak off the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes to relax the proteins and reabsorb all the juices before you cut your steak.
