Smoked Porterhouse Steak
To get the best flavor from your porterhouse steak, you need very few ingredients, especially if you have the right Z Grill.
Equipment
- Z Grills 700D3 Wood Pellet Grill
- Z Grills Cherry Wood Pellets
Ingredients
- 1 Porterhouse steak
- 1 tbsp Kosher salt
- 1 tbsp Black Pepper
Instructions
- Begin by allowing the steaks to reach room temperature for approximately one hour, ensuring even cooking and optimal flavor.
- Enhance the taste of the steaks by generously seasoning both sides with a blend of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Once your grill has reached temperature, grill one side of the steaks for 5 minutes
- Select your preferred wood pellets for smoking. In this recipe, we highly recommend the delightful aroma of Cherry wood pellets.
- Ignite the Z Grills smoke setting or adjust it to the lowest possible level to maximize the infusion of smoky goodness onto the Porterhouse steak.
- Smoke the steaks until they reach the desired internal temperature. For a rare steak, indulge in the flavorful smoke for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour, achieving a temperature of 105-110 degrees Fahrenheit.
- After the smoking process, swiftly remove the steak from the pellet grill, allowing it to rest briefly before the next step.
- Set the internal temperature of the Z Grills pellet grill to a scorching 450 degrees Fahrenheit, ready for the searing stage.
- To achieve a delectable sear, grill the steak for 2 minutes, give it a quarter turn, grill for another 2 minutes, and then flip. Continue searing until the steak reaches your desired temperature.
- Give the steak a well-deserved rest for 5 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute within the meat, and then proceed to slice it into tantalizing portions. It's time to savor the fruits of your labor!
