Porterhouse with Summer Au Poivre Sauce

Cooking with Euro Alfresco

  • Vegetable oil (for grilling)

  • 2 tbsp drained pickled green peppercorns (extra for serving)

  • 1/2 cup of basil leaves (packed)

  • 1/2 mint leaves (packed)

  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • Kosher salt

  • 1kg porterhouse steak (2cm thick)

INGREDIENTS | Serves 2-4

Step 1
Prepare your Euro BBQ grill to high-heat and oil grate with vegetable oil. Roughly chop 2 tbsp. peppercorn, basil and mint together and transfer to a bowl, mixing together with oil and salt for seasoning. For serving, roughly chop a few peppercorns and set aside.

Step 2
Generously season steak with salt and grill over direct heat, keeping tenderloin (the smaller side) away from the most intense heat and turning steak about every few minutes to ensure even browning. Do this for 6-8 minutes or until steak is deeply browned on all sides.

Step 3
Move steak over indirect heat and start grilling, ensuring to turn every 1–2 minutes and gradually move further away from heat to build an even colouring (120° for medium-rare, 10–12 minutes). Transfer to a wire rack and set aside to rest for 15–30 minutes.

Step 4
Transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise. Serve topped with sauce and reserved peppercorns and enjoy!
