Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, parsley, chives, thyme, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Place the butter mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll it into a log shape and twist the ends to seal. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Remove the Porterhouse steaks from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the steaks with olive oil, then season both sides generously with smoked salt, dried marjoram, and freshly ground black pepper.
- If using a grill, place the steaks on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on thickness. For a skillet, sear each side for 4-5 minutes until a nice crust forms and the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
- Once cooked, remove the steaks from the heat and let them rest for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute.
- Slice the steaks and serve topped with a generous pat of the herb-scented compound butter. Enjoy your flavorful smoked salt and marjoram-crusted Porterhouse with aromatic herb butter on the side.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs instead of dried marjoram. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
