Instructions
1
Position the broiler rack so that the top of the steak will be about 5 inches from the heat source. Preheat the broiler.
2
In a small bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of crushed dried rosemary. Sprinkle this seasoning blend evenly over the Porterhouse steaks.
3
Place the seasoned steaks on a broiler rack in a broiler pan. Broil the steaks, turning them once halfway through, for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
4
While the steaks are broiling, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Add the assorted wild mushrooms to the skillet along with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of dried rosemary. Sauté the mushrooms, stirring frequently, for about 6-7 minutes or until they are browned and tender.
6
Drizzle the tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over the mushrooms and continue to cook for an additional minute, letting the flavors meld. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the quartered cherry tomatoes.
7
Once the steaks are done, transfer them to a serving platter. Generously top each steak with the wild mushroom and tomato mixture.
8
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprig of rosemary for added flair before serving.
