Ingredients
1 22-ounce porterhouse steak, 1 1/2-inches thick
Kosher salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
4 tablespoons salted butter
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1/2 small shallot
3 large garlic cloves, crushed with the back of a knife
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, suitable for high heat cooking (such as vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
1-Getting your Garlic Herb Steak just right: starts with a few smart steps that make all the difference. First off, pull the steak from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes; this helps it cook evenly and keeps the flavors locked in. Once it’s ready, mix up a quick herb blend with the crushed garlic, fresh thyme, rosemary, and a dash of oil for a simple marinade that infuses everything.
2-Next, rub that mixture all over the steak, making sure both sides get good coverage, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. Fire up your grill or skillet to medium-high heat, around 400°F, to get that perfect sear. Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, using a thermometer to hit that sweet spot, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes so the juices settle in.
3-After resting, slice against the grain to keep it tender and pair it with sides like grilled veggies for a full meal. This method works wonders for a garlic butter steak, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor. For variation, try a refreshing drink alongside to balance the richness.
