Serve these decadent steaks with roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad to complete this flavor-packed feast.
1. Take the Porterhouse steaks out of the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to ensure even cooking.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the ground coffee, brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and kosher salt to create the coffee rub.
3. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels and generously coat both sides with the coffee rub. Press the rub into the meat to adhere.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare a hot charcoal grill. Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
5. Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grill. For medium-rare, cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F (54-57°C). Adjust cooking time for your preferred doneness. Let the steaks rest for 5-10 minutes once removed from the grill.
6. While the steaks are resting, prepare the garlic orange vinaigrette. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the finely chopped parsley.
7. Slice the rested porterhouse steaks and drizzle the garlic orange vinaigrette over the top.
8. Serve with your choice of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
