Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Porterhouse steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
Instructions
Prepare the cilantro lime compound butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, chopped cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, and ground cumin until well combined. Place the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap, roll it into a log, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to solidify.
Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450–500°F). Clean the grill grates thoroughly to prevent sticking.
While the grill preheats, brush both porterhouse steaks with olive oil on all sides. Generously season each steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Once the grill is hot, place the steaks on the grates and cook for 4–5 minutes on one side without moving them to achieve beautiful grill marks.
Flip the steaks and continue grilling for another 3–5 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or to your preferred level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium, and 150°F for medium-well.
Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice discs of the chilled cilantro lime compound butter and place one on top of each steak while they rest. The butter will melt, creating a flavorful sauce for the steaks.
Serve the porterhouse steaks hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired, alongside your favorite side dishes such as grilled vegetables or a baked potato.
