Swank Porterhouse Steak
Juicy porterhouse steak infused with flavorful butter, garlic, and seasonings, then grilled to perfection. Ideal for steak lovers seeking rich, smoky flavors and satisfying meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Slash the fat edge of the steak without cutting into the meat.
- Slit from the fat side to create a pocket on each side of the lean meat, almost reaching the bone.
- Combine salt, garlic, pepper, and celery salt.
- Insert the seasoning mixture into the pockets of the steak.
- Mix Claret wine and soy sauce, then brush the mixture onto the steak.
- Grill over hot coals for a total of 25 minutes or until done to your liking.
- Turn the steak once during grilling, brushing occasionally with the soy mixture.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best flavor, marinate the steak in the Claret wine and soy sauce mixture for a few hours or overnight. If you don't have Claret wine, a dry red wine or even a robust balsamic vinegar can work as substitutes. Make sure to let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a tender bite.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled porterhouse steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Spinach Dunk for a delightful appetizer. Consider adding a baked potato or garlic mashed potatoes for a hearty side. A glass of the same Claret wine used in the recipe would complement the meal perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover steak should be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will last for up to 3 days. To reheat, slice the steak and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist, or enjoy it cold in a salad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of steak for this recipe?
Absolutely! While porterhouse is ideal for its flavor and tenderness, you can substitute with sirloin, ribeye, or even flank steak. Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness and cut to ensure it’s cooked to your liking.
What should I serve with the porterhouse steak?
Consider pairing the steak with classic sides like grilled asparagus, baked potatoes, or a light salad. For a twist, try serving it with Sandy'S Zucchini Bread for a unique take on the meal, adding a touch of sweetness to balance the savory flavors.
How do I know when the steak is done cooking?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; for medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F. If you prefer it more done, cook until it reaches 145°F for medium. Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the grill.
