A Porterhouse fit for a king. Reverse-seared and simply seasoned with creamy greens for good measure.
- Prep Time: 20 Minutes
- Cook Time: 45 Minutes
- Pellets: Hickory
- Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 Steak, porterhouse
- As Needed - Kosher salt
- As Needed - Cracked black pepper
- 6 Tablespoon butter
- 2 Clove of Garlic, minced
- 1 Shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 Cup - heavy cream
- 1 Pinch - Ground nutmeg
- 3 Pound - Salad Greens, mixed
INSTRUCTIONS:
- For the Steaks: Season each side generously with salt and pepper. When ready to cook, start your Traeger pellet grill, and set temp to 225F and preheat for 10-15 minutes.
- Place the steaks directly on the grill and cook for 45 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 120 degrees F.
- Remove steaks from grill and increase the temperature to 450-500F. Let grill preheat with the lid closed for 10-15 minutes.
- Place steaks back on the hot grill and cook for 5-6 minutes each side or until the internal temperature registers 130 degrees F for medium rare. Remove from the grill and let rest.
- For the Creamed Greens: In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the butter over high heat until it foams. Add the garlic and shallot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until softened and golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cream, bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Add the nutmeg and salt to taste. Using a hand blender, purée until smooth.
- In a large pot, heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter over high heat until it foams. Add the greens and cook, stirring constantly, until tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with salt and add the cream mixture. Lower the heat, cover and let simmer until cooked through, 5 minutes more. Taste for nutmeg and salt, season to taste and serve hot.
- To serve, slice the steaks and serve on top of the greens. Enjoy!
