Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the espresso powder, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.
- Pat the porterhouse steaks dry with paper towels. Rub the olive oil over both sides of the steaks, then generously coat them with the espresso and cinnamon spice rub.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until a nice crust forms.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 10-15 minutes for medium-rare, or until the desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check (130°F/54°C for medium-rare).
- While the steaks are in the oven, prepare the whipped brown butter jus. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Once the butter is browned, remove it from heat and stir in the beef stock. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the steaks are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Slice the porterhouse steaks against the grain and arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle the whipped brown butter jus over the steaks and garnish with fresh herbs.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For variations, try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar to the jus for an extra depth of flavor.
