Herbes de Provence grilled porterhouse steaks use the French herb, mashed together with fresh garlic, kosher salt, olive oil, and black pepper to create the ultimate grill rub.
Porterhouse steaks (also known as “T-Bones”) have a special place in my heart. Growing up, whenever we visited Chicago on a family getaway or tagging along on one of my dad’s business trips, we would always visit a fancy steak house. We rotated locations, but I was always allowed to order the giant porterhouse steak. With life being so busy with our 2 boys, we aren’t always able to go out to a fancy steakhouse, but it can be easy to recreate the experience at home with my Herbes de Provence Grilled Porterhouse Steaks! Toss them on the grill and enjoy a delicious and quick dinner.
Ingredients
- Porterhouse steaks: Because that T-bone is left in the middle of the steak, it helps to keep if juicy and tender while it grills.
- Herbes de Provence: Typically a blend of rosemary, thyme, savory, oregano, and other herbs native to Provence, France.
- Kosher salt: The larger flakes help them stick better to the meat, and it enhances the natural flavors.
- Cracked black pepper: Paired with the herbs, it adds a small layer of heat and additional layer of flavor.
- Garlic: Nutty, aromatic, and pungent flavor that sweetens when it’s cooked.
- Olive oil: Helps to coat and get the rub to stick to the steaks.
How to Make Herbes de Provence Grilled Porterhouse Steaks
To begin your Herbes de Provence Grilled Porterhouse Steaks, take your herbs, salt, pepper, and garlic and add them to a small bowl.
Then drizzle in the olive oil and slowly stir until it’s fully combined into a paste.
Next you’ll take your steaks and coat them with olive oil on both sides.
Then take your Herbes de Provence paste and rub it into both sides of each steak. Let sit and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Pre-heat your grill to high heat before adding the steaks.
Cook for around 5 minutes per side before removing. Let rest for 10 minutes for juices to redistribute.
Once your steaks are done and have rested, slice to serve and enjoy your Herbes de Provence Grilled Porterhouse Steaks!
Frequently Asked Questions:
What temperature do you grill porterhouse steaks?
If your grill has a temperature gauge, you’ll want it set to around 450 degrees, or just “high” on some models.
How many minutes per side for porterhouse?
For medium-rare (my go-to doneness), 5 minutes per side usually does the trick. For best results, use a meat thermometer. 120-125 rare, 130-135 medium-rare, 140-145 medium, and 160-165 for well done.
Can I substitute Italian seasoning for Herbes de Provence?
They are very similar, so while the flavor will vary slightly, it’ll still be fine!
