Francks Porterhouse Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Place steak on a plate and coat lightly with olive oil. Rub steak with meat tenderizer. Sprinkle steak with Canadian steak seasoning and gently rub into steak. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
• Unwrap steaks and grill on open flame or charcoal grill for 3 to 5 minutes per side, or to your desired degree of doneness.

Steps:

• Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Season the steak heavily with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the steak in the skillet and do not move it. Cook until a nice sear forms, about 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut both the filet and sirloin from the bone. Slice the steak against the grain into thick pieces. Put the bone back into the skillet and reassemble the steak around it (it should look like the steak originally did) with the seared side up. Top with pieces of butter. Add a couple cloves of garlic and a few sprigs of thyme or rosemary, if desired.
• Broil to desired doneness, about 4 minutes for medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes for medium. Transfer to a serving plate and pour the pan drippings over the steak.

Steps:

• Prepare marinade: Combine rosemary sprigs, garlic, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a shallow dish or plastic storage bag large enough to hold the steak. Add steak, and season with pepper. Turn to coat, and reseason. Cover with plastic wrap, and allow to marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, prepare compound butter.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter. When hot, add steak and a few sprigs of rosemary and garlic from marinade. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, being careful not to burn garlic. Lightly season with salt. Transfer to oven for 25 to 30 minutes for medium-rare, turning every 7 to 10 minutes.
• When done, transfer steak to a cutting board, and let rest 5 to 7 minutes before slicing. While steak rests, remove garlic and rosemary from skillet, and heat over medium heat. Add wine, and reduce by about one-third. Add compound butter, and stir until just melted. Remove sauce from heat. Cut meat from both sides of the bone, then slice at an angle into pieces about 1/2 inch thick; do not puncture the meat with the carving fork or you will lose juices. Serve with warm sauce drizzled over the meat.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large, well-seasoned cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the steaks dry with a paper towel and brush them lightly with vegetable oil. Combine the fleur de sel and cracked pepper on a plate and roll the steaks in the mixture, pressing lightly to evenly coat all sides.
• When the skillet is ready, add the steaks and sear them evenly on all sides for about 2 minutes per side, for a total of 10 minutes.
• Top each steak with a tablespoon of butter, if using, and place the skillet in the oven. Cook the steaks until they reach 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium-rare on an instant-read thermometer. (To test the steaks, insert the thermometer sideways to be sure you're actually testing the middle of the steak.)
• Remove the steaks to a serving platter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Serve hot with Roquefort Chive Sauce on the side.
• Bring the heavy cream to a boil in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook at a low boil, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has become thick and creamy, about 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cheese, salt, pepper and chives and whisk rapidly until the cheese melts.
• Yield: 4 servings

Steps:

• Whisk together oil and vinegar until well blended, add remaining ingredients. Pour over porterhouse steaks, or any steak for that matter, in a dish or in a 1 gallon sized storage bag. Marinate at least 8 hours. Grill or broil and enjoy.
• Note: this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for more steaks.
