Cuisine: American
Calories: 300

Ingredients
  

  • 1 porterhouse steak (or your preferred cut)
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 cloves garlic (lightly crushed)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 shallot (thinly sliced)
  • Fresh rosemary (1-2 sprigs)
  • Fresh thyme (1-2 sprigs)

Method
 

  1. Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
  2. Rub the seasoning into the steak to ensure even coverage.
  3. Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it’s hot and ready for searing.
  4. Add vegetable oil to the pan and heat until it shimmers.
  5. Carefully place the seasoned steak into the hot skillet.
  6. Cook for 3 minutes on one side without moving it. When you notice a golden sear forming around the edges, flip the steak.
  7. Melt the butter in the skillet.
  8. Add the garlic cloves, shallots, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
  9. Use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melted butter and infused aromatics. This adds incredible flavor and keeps the steak moist.
  10. Continue cooking until the steak reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  11. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender and juicy steak.
  12. Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
