Direct Cooking Recipe – Grilled Porterhouse Steak
TO SERVE 2:
2 x porterhouse steaks
grapeseed oil
salt
METHOD
- Preheat the 4K by placing 1kg / 2.2lb charcoal on top of the charcoal grid in a pointed pile. Press the fast-flame ignition and keep the hood open for 10-15 minutes.
- Place the cast-iron grills over the hot coals using the supplied grill grabber, and attach the meat probe in position P1 to cast-iron grill, using the probe bracket.
- Close the hood to continue preheating the 4K and aim for the bars of the grill to reach close to 300°C / 572°F before grilling. Remove the steaks from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking.
- Rub a little grapeseed oil onto the steaks and season with salt.
- Place a 2nd meat probe into the centre of the thickest steak and begin searing the steaks over the hot coals, flipping every 20 seconds. Temporarily close the hood for a few minutes if additional heat is required. For medium-rare, remove the steaks from the grill once the core temperature reads 46°C/115°F and place onto a cooling rack set over a tray.
- Allow to rest until the core reads approximately 52°C / 125°F.
