Porterhouse Steak in a Cast Iron Skillet
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Let the steak rest for not less than 20 – 30 minutes to bring the steak to room temperature
  2. Rub the cast iron skillet with olive oil
  3. Season the steak.  You can really use whatever you want but I recommend using powder spices.  Salt & Pepper alone is fine.  If you want something different, try our Big Tasty Steak Rub.
  4. Turn heat on high and let pan get hot…..real hot!  You will know it’s ready when the oil begins to smoke or you can place a drop of water on the pan and it evaporates quickly.
  5. Place steak in pan and let cook 3 – 4 minutes / side depending on thickness and desired temperature.  If the steak is over 1.5″ thick, you will need to use an oven to finish.  See our Filet Mignon in a Cast Iron Skillet recipe for steaks greater than 1.5″ thick.
  6. Once it has reached the desired temperature, remove from skillet and let steak rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Final Step – enjoy ‘ya tasty steak!
