What is a Porterhouse Steak?
This guest post was kindly written by Gerry of Foodness Gracious.
The porterhouse steak is a two-fer. You get the NY Strip on one side and a nice little tenderloin filet on the other, with the bone running right up the middle.
When Carrian asked me if I’d be interested in guest posting for her Dude Food party, I didn’t even think about it. First of all, I am a dude. And second, I love my food. With both boxes checked, I was fully qualified for dude food.
I had a hard time coming up with an idea of what to make. My mind was full of crazy things that I’d love to eat if I was able to choose, like ultimate burgers or fried chicken breakfast sandwiches. But because I really only eat steak on special occasions, this grilled porterhouse steak was the perfect recipe!
The porterhouse steak I picked up weighed about a pound and a quarter, and do you see that amazing color and marbling? Usually I’d stick to a tenderloin filet because I don’t like working for my food and trying to maneuver that bone, but it was so worth it.
I like to keep steaks simple, so I just seasoned it with some salt and black pepper. a tiny drizzle of olive oil and threw it on the grill. A few minutes on each side and it was done. Medium rare is my sweet spot.
I sautéed some shiitake mushrooms with diced shallots, butter and rosemary and plopped them on top of that behemoth porterhouse. It was the perfect side dish and didn’t take away the spotlight from the meat.

How to Tell if a Steak is Done
The “touch” test is an easy way to tell if a steak is done. Make a relaxed fist, then touch the fleshy part of your hand between the thumb and forefinger. It is soft, like a rare steak. Next, tighten the fist a little. It is firmer, like a medium steak. Make a tight fist. It will feel very firm, like a well-done steak.
Tips for Making Grilled Porterhouse Steak
Be sure to let the porterhouse steak rest on your countertop for 30 minutes before grilling it. This gives the meat time to come to room temperature and ensures that it cooks evenly throughout.
I seasoned my grilled porterhouse steak simply with salt and pepper, but you’re welcome to use your favorite steak seasoning instead.
After grilling the steak, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting into it. This gives the juices time to redistribute and makes for a more tender bite.
