Porterhouse Steaks With Arugula And Parmesan Cheese Recipes

PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH BROWN BUTTER, BLUE CHEESE AND CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri: Combine all of the herbs in a medium bowl. Add the oil, garlic and chile flakes and stir to combine. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Stir in the vinegar just before serving to keep the color bright green. Season with salt and pepper, then taste and add honey, if needed.
• Meanwhile, prepare the steak: Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. This will help it cook quickly and more evenly.
• Preheat the broiler. Heat a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat, then heat the oil until smoking. Season the steak very generously with salt and pepper and cook just on one side, undisturbed, until a deep brown crust forms on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Transfer the steak, browned-side up, to a cutting board.
• Cut the steak off the bone in 2 pieces--the strip steak on one side and filet mignon on the other. Slice both pieces 1 inch thick straight down, perpendicular to the bone. Return the bone to the skillet and reassemble the sliced steak around it, browned-side up, to resemble the whole steak. Top with the butter and broil until the butter is melted and golden brown and the steak is medium-rare, 4 to 6 minutes, spooning some of the butter and pan juices over the steak as it cooks. Scatter the cheese over the top and broil for 1 more minute. Serve the steak with buttery pan juices spooned over and the chimichurri on the side.

GRILLED STEAK WITH ARUGULA AND SHAVED PARMESAN

Steps:

• Blend garlic, 2 teaspoons oil and black pepper in small food processor (or mash on plate with back of fork) to form paste. Pat steaks dry with paper towels. Rub garlic paste over both sides of steaks. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes or refrigerate up to 8 hours. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Grill steaks to desired doneness, about 9 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer steaks to cutting board. Let stand 5 minutes. Cut steaks on slight angle into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
• Arrange arugula on platter. Top with steak slices. Pour any accumulated juices over steaks; sprinkle with salt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over steaks. Using vegetable peeler, shave Parmesan into strips over steaks. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED PORTERHOUSE STEAK WITH PAPRIKA-PARMESAN BUTTER

Steps:

• Place steak in glass baking dish. Whisk oil and next 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Pour half of marinade over steak. Turn steak over; pour remaining marinade over steak. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day, turning occasionally.
• Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove steak from marinade; shake off excess. Place steak on barbecue; cover barbecue. Grill steak to desired doneness (until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of steak registers 115°F to 120°F for rare, about 15 minutes per side, or 125°F to 130°F for medium-rare, about 18 minutes per side), occasionally moving steak to cooler part of rack if burning. Transfer steak to platter; cover to keep warm. Let stand 5 minutes. Using sharp knife, cut meat away from bone. Cut each meat section into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Spread Paprika-Parmesan Butter over top of slices and serve.
