Ancho Crusted Porterhouse Steak Recipe

How to Make Ancho Crusted Porterhouse Steak - The Recipe Method

Let it sit for a half hour or so in the packaging on the counter to bring to room temperature. When you’re ready to cook, rub it down with your special blend of ancho powder, garlic, salt and pepper. I think you’ll love this particular recipe because it isn’t your typical steak dinner. For this meal, we’re crusting the porterhouse steak with a mix of garlic, salt and pepper, but also ancho powder for an amazing flavor boost. I love ancho powder so much, I purchase it in bulk and keep it in my own containers. Ancho is essential in the Chili Pepper Madness household for building flavors and making my own blends. You can have this meal done in about 15 minutes once your steak has been brought to room temperature. Let’s talk about how to make it, shall we? Like so. Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help. If you enjoy this recipe, I hope you’ll leave a comment with some STARS. Also, please share it on social media. Don’t forget to tag us at #ChiliPepperMadness. I’ll be sure to share! Thanks! — Mike H. Next, heat a neutral oil in a cast iron pan to medium-high heat. I use avocado oil. Neutral oil is best because it doesn’t flavor the steak like olive oil does, even if it is only mildly so. We’re focusing on the steak here. Sear the steak on one side and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Do not touch it. Just let it cook. Flip it and add a bit of butter over the top. Let it sit again for about 4 minutes. Again, don’t touch it or do anything. Maybe stare at it with longing. That’s what I did. Make your stomach growl. It’ll taste that much better. Finally, remove it from the pan and let it rest about 5-10 minutes for the juices to redistribute throughout the steak. Just look at this gorgeous thing. Dang. Perfectly medium-rare. After it has rested, you can go ahead and enjoy it as is. I mean, it’s pretty perfect like this. But I like to toss on a few fresh herbs for a touch of green. Like so. Then you probably want to slice it so it is easier to share. Or, top it with cowboy butter steak dip! So good! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Date nights are fun! Especially with porterhouse steak. And ancho powder. And red wine. Yum. Have fun!
