    How to grill a porterhouse on a charcoal grill

    • You want a porterhouse steak that has:
    - At least an inch to an inch-and-a-half thickness
    - Red Coloring
    - Abundant Marbling
    • Abundant marbling (fatty specks) gives the steak a buttery flavor and tenderness
    • Prior to cooking the porterhouse steaks, leave them at room temperature for 2 hours. This will keep them from over-charring on the grill
    • Season the steak with seasoning salt or salt and pepper.
    • Make sure the charcoal has been going for at least 45 minutes and that the coals are white before placing the steaks on the grill.
    • Cover the grill and cook the porterhouse steaks for five minutes.
    • When cooking porterhouse steaks, turn them with tongs, never a fork, so that you don't let the juices escape.
    • Cook on the other side, covered, for about four minutes to get a medium-rare steak.
    • You can tell if you're done cooking the porterhouse steaks, without cutting into it, by comparing the feel of the steaks to your hand:
      • A medium rare steak should feel like the base of your thumb - soft and spongy with some give
      • A medium steak should feel like the palm of your hand - less spongy and more firm
