Porterhouse Steak With Bearnaise Sauce Recipes

PORTERHOUSE WITH BALSAMIC STEAK SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high on one side and lightly oil the grate. Season a 2-inch-thick porterhouse steak (3 pounds) with coarse sea salt and pepper. Grill over direct heat for 4 minutes, then rotate the meat 90 and cook 2 more minutes. Repeat on the other side. Move the steak to the cooler part of the grill (position the smaller end away from the heat); cover and cook until the meat reaches 128 to 130 for medium-rare, 12 to 15 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. To make the sauce, simmer 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2/3 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup honey, 2 sliced shallots, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1/4 teaspoon allspice, and salt, pepper and sugar to taste until thickened, about 15 minutes. Strain, then whisk in some butter.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH BEARNAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or oven broiler to high.
• Rub the steak on both sides with salt to taste and the pepper. Brush on both sides with oil.
• If the charcoal grill is used, reduce the heat to low. Place the steak on the grill, or place it on a rack, under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat source.
• Let cook with door partly open for 5 to 6 minutes. Turn meat over and let cook 25 minutes for medium rare, 30 minutes for medium. Remove steak from grill or broiler and let stand 10 minutes so juices will be redistributed. Serve sliced with bearnaise sauce on the side.

STEAK WITH BERNAISE

Steps:

• For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
• Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
• Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
• Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH SAUCE ROUILLE

Steps:

• Trim the fat from the edges of the steak, leaving a layer 1/4 inch thick, then slash the layer of fat at 1-inch intervals.
• In a small bowl, using the back of a spoon, mash together the garlic, anchovy paste, olive oil, and pepper until smooth. Rub into both sides of the steak. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• When steak is close to be being done standing, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the potato and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until barely tender, about 10 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Drain, reserving the broth. You should have 2 to 3 Tbs.
• In a food processor, with the motor running, drop the garlic cloves through the feed tube and process until chopped. Add the cherry peppers, pimiento pepper, potato and bell pepper, thyme, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce. Proces until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil, 1 Tb at a time, and process until the mixture thickens. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the reserved chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
• Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Position the grill rack 4 to 6 inches above the fire.
• Place the steak on the rack and sear, turning once, until nicely browned, about 1 minute on each side. Using long handled tongs to hold the meat, sear the edges. Then grill over a medium-hot fire (move the steak to the edge of the fire or raise the grill rack), turning once, 16-20 minutes total for medium rare, or until done to your liking. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut meat from the bone, then slice the meat across the grain and serve on a warmed platter. Pass the sauce at the table.
