Lobel's Classic Grilled Porterhouse Steak
- 3 to 3 1/2 pounds porterhouse steak, about 2-inches thick
- Metal or wooden skewer
- 1/2 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2 scallions, white parts only, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- Trim the outer fat from the steak (or ask the butcher to do so).
- Rub the fat with the cut lemon to prevent burning and smoking.
- Score both sides of the tail of the steak and then fold it back towards the main body and attach it to the meat with a small metal skewer or sturdy wooden skewer.
- (If using a wooden skewer, soak it in water for about 20 minutes first).
- Combine the olive oil, garlic, scallions, salt and pepper in a glass or ceramic dish.
- Put the steak in the dish and turn several times to coat.
- Cover and marinate at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for as long as 4 hours.
- Turn the meat once or twice during marinating.
- Prepare a charcoal or gas grill.
- Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- The coals should be moderately hot to hot.
- Lift the steak from the marinade.
- Discard the marinade.
- Grill the steak, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Turn and grill, covered, for 10 to 12 minutes longer for medium-rare, or until it reaches the desired degree of doneness.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving.
