Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (1.5-2 lb) porterhouse steak (at least 1.5 inches thick)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

 

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for finishing)

Instructions

Prepare the Steak:

  1. Pat the steak dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub both sides with olive oil.
  3. Season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme.
  4. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Preheat the Grill:

  1. Heat a grill to 450-500°F (230-260°C).
  2. For a perfect sear, use direct high heat first, then move to indirect heat to finish cooking.

Grill the Steak:

  1. Sear for 3-4 minutes per side over direct heat to create a crust.
  2. Move to indirect heat and continue grilling until the internal temperature reaches:
    • 125°F (52°C) for rare
    • 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare
    • 145°F (63°C) for medium

Rest & Serve:

 

  1. Remove from the grill and top with butter.
  2. Tent with foil and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  3. Serve with grilled veggies, mashed potatoes, or a side salad.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, baste with garlic butter while grilling.
  • Always let the steak rest before slicing to keep it juicy.

 

  • Pair with a bold red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec.
