Porterhouse

Local store had Porterhouse and T-bones on sale so i grabbed an 18oz Porterhouse. I've never cooked one before, so how would you cook it?

What kind of grill? Smoker or regular gas grill?

Depends on what youre cooking on but reverse sear if you can do it.

I normally grill Strip steaks on my gas grill. Everything im reading says to pan sear it

I love to pan sear but I do not have an outside stove vent. Gets a little smoky in the house...

Agree 100% reverse sear it.

Love some Porterhouse.

Biggest deal with Porterhouse or TBone is they’re not all the same anatomically. Some have a very large filet on the side, on some the filet is almost nonexistent. I’ve dug through stacks before to find those with big filets.

As for cooking, I tend to do mine in a hot cast iron skillet. Haven’t done reverse sear yet, I’m wanting to try that.

Thanks for all the tips. I ended up just searing direct and basting it with homemade garlic herb butter. Flavor was great and I nailed the temp (129°), but dont think my little two burner has enough heat to get a really good sear. Gonna try the reverse sear on my next steaks to see what all the fuss is about.

Great deal on a beautiful Porterhouse, has a very nice filet on the side.

Wish we had Ingles down here around Charleston. We occasionally get a cabin in Asheville for long weekends or a week, always hit Ingles for groceries.
