Ingredients
1 (40-ounce) Certified Angus Beef ® porterhouse
1 lemon
1 tablespoon chopped garlic (2–3 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
2 large sprigs rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon high-quality sea salt (like Maldon)
Instructions
1. Marinate Steak: Zest and juice the lemon, reserving the zest for later. Combine the lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Coat the porterhouse steak evenly with the mixture, place it in a large zipper-locking plastic bag with the rosemary, pressing out all air, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.
2. Preheat Grill: Preheat the grill to warm (250°F).
3. Slow Cook Steak: Wrap the porterhouse in foil, place it on the grill away from direct heat, and cook slowly for 60-90 minutes, flipping once. The internal temperature target should be 100°F.
4. Rest and Heat Grill: Remove the steak from the grill and increase the grill heat to high (450°F-500°F). Allow the steak to rest in the foil for 15 minutes while the grill heats up.
5. Sear Steak: Remove the steak from the foil, pat dry, brush with olive oil, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare (125°F-130°F). Transfer to a clean cutting board.
6. Garnish and Serve: Combine the reserved lemon zest and sea salt. Carve the steak by running a knife along the bone to remove both the strip and tenderloin. Slice each steak into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and serve on a platter, garnished with the lemon sea salt.
Notes
Marinating Time: For best flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
Resting Time: Allowing the steak to rest helps retain its juices, making the meat more flavorful and tender.
Pairing Suggestion: Serve with roasted vegetables and a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
