Ingredients:  
12"-thick Porterhouse steak, trimmed (about 2lbs.)
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter, room temperature
Directions:
Directions:
-Let steak sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking, which will help it cook quickly and more evenly.
-Heat broiler. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium high heat, then heat oil in pan until smoking.
-Season steak very generously with salt and pepper (With a steak this thick, you need to season liberally...the surface of the meat should be almost white from salt) and cook steak (season-side-down) until a deep brown crust forms on the underside (do not turn) about 4 minutes.
-Transfer steak to a cutting board, turning it browned side up.
-Cut meat from bone in 2 pieces (strip steak and filet mignon). Slice both pieces straight down perpendicular to the bone- 1" thick. Replace sliced steak around the bone (it should look like a whole sliced steak) and return to skillet, browned side up.
-Top with butter and broil until butter is melted and steak is medium-rare (4-6 minutes).
-Serve steak with butter pan juices spooned over.

Kevin and I found this recipe over Christmas and it is divine! We have found that cooking is a fun way for us to spend time together on a Saturday afternoon/evening and can enjoy our successes (and failures) with a little wine. It has been a great way to start off our marriage- we hope it is fun for you too!
