Take the porterhouse steaks out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before grilling.
While the steaks rest, prepare the paprika Parmesan butter. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, minced garlic, and lemon zest until fully combined. Scoop the butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll it into a log shape. Refrigerate until firm, about 15-20 minutes.
Preheat your grill to high heat (450–500°F or 232–260°C). Ensure the grates are clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
Rub the steaks with olive oil on both sides. Generously season each steak with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the porterhouse steaks on the preheated grill. Sear the steaks over direct heat for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or adjust the time for your preferred level of doneness using a meat thermometer (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Once cooked to your liking, remove the steaks from the grill and tent them loosely with aluminum foil. Let them rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Slice the chilled paprika Parmesan butter into rounds and place them on top of the warm steaks while they rest, letting the butter melt over the meat.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, baked potatoes, or a crisp salad.
