- Prepare the Chimichurri Butter: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper, shape into a log, and refrigerate until firm.
- Prepare the Steak: Preheat your grill or smoker to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Rub the Porterhouse steak with olive oil, then season generously with smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Make sure to coat both sides evenly.
- Smoke the Red Onion: Place the sliced red onion on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Wrap the foil tightly to create a packet. Place the onion packet on the grill or smoker for about 15-20 minutes until tender and infused with smoke flavor.
- Grill the Porterhouse Steak: Once the grill is heated, place the Porterhouse steak directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or until desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 130°F for medium-rare.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. While the steak is resting, unwrap the red onions and set aside. Slice the steak against the grain and serve topped with smoked red onions and a generous dollop of chimichurri butter. Garnish with fresh oregano leaves.
Notes
For added flavor, marinate the steak overnight with the seasoning mixture.
