    Best Porterhouse Steak Recipe

    What could be better than a perfectly cooked steak on the grill? Grilled steak recipes are some of my favorites to make, and this grilled porterhouse is near the top of the list. It’s tender, juicy, and comes together so quickly for a restaurant-quality meal.

    Living in Florida, I grill out as often as I can, and that means plenty of grilled steaks! My family never gets tired of juicy steaks… and neither do I. If you love grilling as much as I do, I know you’ll love my easy porterhouse steak on the grill. It’s the best of the best!

    Grilling is the best way to cook porterhouse steak, and my easy method always results in perfect steaks.

    FAQs

    What is porterhouse steak?

    Porterhouse steak is a bone-in steak that consists of both the filet mignon cut and New York strip cut of steak. It’s a large, flavorful, and juicy steak often served as a steak for two.

    What’s the difference between a t-bone and a porterhouse steak?

    T-bone steak is a smaller version of the Porterhouse, which has more tenderloin beef attached to the bone. The difference between the two is the amount of meat.

    Do you need to marinate porterhouse steak?

    My porterhouse steak recipe does not need to be marinated before grilling.

    How do you grill a large porterhouse steak?

    Before grilling, allow your porterhouse steak to come to room temperature. Generously season both sides of the steak and sear for 5 minutes on each side over direct high heat. Let the steak rest at least 10 minutes after grilling before you slice it.

    How long do you grill porterhouse steaks?

    Grill 1.25 pound porterhouse steaks for 5 minutes on each side over high heat until the internal temperature reaches at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Larger steaks will need more time on the grill.

    Do you close the grill when cooking steak?

    You do not close the grill when grilling porterhouse steak.

    How do you cook a porterhouse steak in the oven?

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter in the pan. Season steaks on both sides, then add to the pan and sear 4 minutes per side. Transfer skillet to the oven and cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak reads 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove steak from the oven and allow to rest before slicing.

    4. Serve and enjoy with chimichurri sauce!

    Recipe Tips

    • Follow this recipe to cook 1.25 pound steaks to medium rare. Use a meat thermometer and follow my Steak Temperature Chart for best results when finding your preferred degree of doneness.
    • If you want to make some gorgeous diamond grill marks, turn the steak 45 degrees halfway through each side’s grill time.
    • If you have steaks of a different size, make sure to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature before removing from the grill, as the cook time will be different.

      I love the idea of using foil packs so you can get the whole meal done on the grill. A great time (and dirty dishes) saver!

      Asian marinade sounds awesome, BUT what’s the thickness of your steaks? We like them 1.25-1.5”…
