Who doesn't love a big, juicy porterhouse steak? Okay, vegetarians, vegans, raw foodists, etc. Never mind. WE love a big, juicy porterhouse steak. We REALLY love the porterhouse at Peter Luger Steakhouse, legendary den of incredible meat and gruff waiters in Brooklyn. But, that's a 45 minute drive and $150 (cash only!) while child wrangling, so we make do at home. This 2+ pound, 2" thick beauty was rubbed with only olive oil, salt and pepper, and
seared 6 minutes a side in a cast iron skillet. It then popped into the preheated oven for another 2 minutes. Perfect medium rare. Served with dutch oven potatoes and sauteed baby spinach with garlic, and a delicious red wine shallot butter, this meal is luscious and hearty. Unfortunately for us, Monkey and Unicorn LOVE steak. Soon we'll have to buy two! Monkey couldn't get enough and I've never seen Unicorn eat so much in one sitting. She dropped a record low number of pieces on the floor (sorry, kitty). Even a 7.5 month old knows good steak!
Dutch Oven Potatoes
- 1 onion, diced
- 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 small potatoes, cut into chunks
- 4 Tbsp butter
- salt & pepper to taste
Melt 1 T butter in the dutch oven. Cook onions 5 minutes or so until translucent. Add potatoes, garlic and remaining butter. Mix together, press down, cover, cook on medium-high for 15-20 minutes, stirring and mashing down every few minutes, then turn heat down to medium and cook covered another 20 minutes or so.
