Grilled Porterhouse Steaks
- 3 (1 1/2-inch-thick) porterhouse steaks (each about 2 to 2 1/4 pounds)
- 3 tablespoons mixed whole peppercorns
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- Horseradish-Mustard Butter, sliced into 6 rounds, recipe follows
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons drained bottled horseradish
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced shallot
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Prepare grill.
- Let steaks stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
- With a mortar and pestle or bottom of a heavy skillet coarsely crush peppercorns and in a small bowl combine with salt.
- Pat steaks dry and rub seasoning onto both sides of steaks, pressing to adhere.
- Grill steaks on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals 7 to 9 minutes on each side, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 130 degrees F. for medium-rare.
- (Alternatively, steaks may be broiled on rack of a broiler pan under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from heat.)
- Transfer steaks to a platter and let stand 10 minutes.
- Serve steaks sliced with the horseradish-mustard butter.
- In a bowl, blend together the butter, horseradish, mustard, and shallot with a fork.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- On a sheet of plastic wrap, form the butter into a log about 4 inches long.
- Chill the compound butter until firm, at least 30 minutes or freeze until ready to use.
