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
- Generously season both sides of the steak with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder
- Rub the seasoning into the steak to ensure even coverage.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it’s hot and ready for searing.
- Add vegetable oil to the pan and heat until it shimmers.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak into the hot skillet.
- Cook for 3 minutes on one side without moving it. When you notice a golden sear forming around the edges, flip the steak.
- Melt the butter in the skillet.
- Add the garlic cloves, shallots, rosemary, and thyme to the pan.
- Use a spoon to continuously baste the steak with the melted butter and infused aromatics. This adds incredible flavor and keeps the steak moist.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slice and serve with your favorite sides.
