Ingredients
Porterhouse steaks
1 (2 1/2 lb, 2-inch-thick)
Sea salt
1 (teaspoon, plus additional for sprinkling)
Olive oil
1 (tablespoon, for drizzling)
Lemon wedges
optional (for serving)
Instructions
1
Begin by patting the porterhouse steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a perfect sear.
2
Rub each steak evenly with 1 teaspoon of sea salt, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3
To prepare, place the steaks on the 4-inch grill of your Nuwave or Flavorwave oven.
4
Set the oven to the HIGH setting and cook for approximately 9 minutes on one side.
5
Carefully flip the steaks over and cook for an additional 9 minutes on the other side, or until reaching your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
6
Once cooked, transfer the steaks to a cutting board and allow them to rest uncovered for 10 minutes. During this time, the internal temperature will rise slightly, achieving the perfect doneness.
7
After resting, remove the meat from the bone and slice each piece crosswise against the grain.
8
Arrange the sliced meat on a serving platter, lightly sprinkle with additional sea salt, and drizzle with olive oil for added flavor.
9
Serve the steaks warm, accompanied by fresh lemon wedges for an extra zing.
