Ingredients
4 (18-ounce) Certified Angus Beef ® porterhouse steaks
2 pounds baby new red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 fennel bulb, cored and thinly sliced
1 shallot, peeled and minced
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup red wine
1/2 pound asparagus, thick bottoms snapped off, stalks cut in half
9x13-inch aluminum foil pan
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare Vegetables: Place the potatoes, fennel, shallot, butter, red wine, salt, and pepper in the foil pan. Seal tightly with aluminum foil.
2. Cook Vegetables: Place the foil pan on a medium-high grill to steam for approximately 20 minutes.
3. Add Asparagus: Add the asparagus to the vegetable tray, stir, and continue to cook on medium heat for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Grill Steaks: Season the porterhouse steaks with salt and pepper. Grill to medium rare or desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove the steaks and let them rest for 5 minutes.
5. Serve the steaks with the vegetables and sauce from the pan.
Notes
Resting Time: Letting the steaks rest for 5 minutes before serving allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
Grill Temperature: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high for the best sear on the steaks.
Pairing Suggestion: Serve with a bold red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, to complement the rich flavors of the porterhouse steak.
