In the summertime there isn’t much better then smelling a steak cooking on a grill.  My mouth starts watering at the mere scent of a good steak.   There are so many delicious cuts of steak to grill but one of my favorites is the Porterhouse.  That’s because it’s made up of a strip steak and a tenderloin.

So what’s the difference between a T-Bone and a Porterhouse?   It’s all about size.   A Porterhouse steak has a bigger tenderloin then a T-Bone does.   That’s it! I chose a Certified Angus Beef brand Porterhouse because I truly believe they have the best beef and I got ready to grill.

Everything you need to make Grilled Porterhouse Steaks with Garlic Herb Compound Butter!

You can rub the steaks with whatever you want but I simply did a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic.   I think simple is better especially when I am adding in a flavorful compound butter.   When grilling steaks I find it’s best to take them out of the refrigerator about 30 minutes before cooking them and let them get to room temperature. 

Garlic Herb Compound Butter is delicious on potatoes, steaks and burgers!

Then I worked on the compound butter.  This butter is super easy to make and you can tailor it to your specific tastes.   It is simply a stick of softened butter with garlic and herbs mixed in.  Then it’s shaped into a log and refrigerated until it is solid.   I used thyme, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper in mine but you can use any fresh herbs you have available.

Looking for the ultimate grilled food? These Grilled Porterhouse Steaks with Garlic Herb Compound Butter are awesome!

These steaks grilled up like a dream.   They only took a few minutes per side and came off with perfect grill marks.  Once I transferred them onto individual plates I sliced a thick piece of the butter and set it on top.  The butter melts over top of the steak and flavors it so there is no need to use any sauce.  Trust me, you are going to want to make these steaks with this butter this summer!
