Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large porterhouse steak (about 24 oz / 680 g), well-marbled for juiciness
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed (to rub on steak before grilling)
  • 1 bunch broccolini (about 8 oz / 225 g), trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil (extra virgin, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Take your porterhouse steak out of the fridge about 30-45 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat it dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the steak with olive oil, then sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika on both sides. Rub the smashed garlic cloves over the surface. Let it rest while prepping broccolini.
  3. Trim tough ends from the broccolini. Toss with olive oil, flaky sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and olive oil until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. Preheat grill to high heat (450-500ยฐF). Clean and lightly oil grates.
  6. Place porterhouse steak on hottest part of grill. Cook 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare (130-135ยฐF internal temperature). Use tongs to flip.
  7. During last 5-7 minutes of steak cooking, add broccolini to grill. Turn occasionally until stems are tender and charred spots appear.
  8. Remove steak from grill and rest loosely tented with foil for 5-10 minutes.
  9. Slice steak against the grain. Plate with charred broccolini and a dollop of garlic aioli. Serve immediately.

Notes

Bring steak to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. Pat steak dry for a good sear. Flip steak only once or twice to develop grill marks and avoid drying out. Use a meat thermometer for perfect doneness. Rest steak after grilling to lock in juices. Watch broccolini closely to avoid burning. Make garlic aioli fresh for best flavor. Clean and oil grill grates before cooking to prevent sticking.
