Ingredients
  

Ingredients:
  • 1 piece bone-in porterhouse steak (about 1 ½ inch thick)
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Safflower oil

Equipment

  • Heavy-duty skillet
  • Tongs
  • Instant-Read Thermometer
  • Plate
  • Foil

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by removing the frozen porterhouse steak from its packaging. Place it on a cutting board and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
  2. Place your heavy-duty skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of safflower oil and allow it to heat until it shimmers.
  3. Carefully place the frozen steak in the skillet. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving it.
  4. Using tongs, flip the steak over and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  5. Insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the steak. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should reach 130°F (54°C).
  6. Once the steak has reached your desired doneness, transfer it to a plate, cover it loosely with foil, and let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
  7. After resting, slice the steak against the grain and serve it with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Freeze the steak in an airtight freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
  • Label the bag with the date to keep track of freshness.
  • Thaw in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
