Porterhouse Steak With Sauce Rouille

"DH and I made this steak a few nights ago. It was delicious! It was raining, so we ended up making the steak on the stovetop in a grill pan and it still turned out really well. In step 3, our potato was not barely tender after 10 minutes on medium low and we ended up turning up the heat and cooking it for several more minutes until it began to soften. You may need, like me, to modify this step. The recipe is from Williams-Sonoma "Backyard Barbeques." Prep time includes resting time for the steak."

directions

  • Trim the fat from the edges of the steak, leaving a layer 1/4 inch thick, then slash the layer of fat at 1-inch intervals.
  • In a small bowl, using the back of a spoon, mash together the garlic, anchovy paste, olive oil, and pepper until smooth. Rub into both sides of the steak. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
  • When steak is close to be being done standing, make the sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the potato and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until barely tender, about 10 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes more. Drain, reserving the broth. You should have 2 to 3 Tbs.
  • In a food processor, with the motor running, drop the garlic cloves through the feed tube and process until chopped. Add the cherry peppers, pimiento pepper, potato and bell pepper, thyme, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce. Proces until smooth. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil, 1 Tb at a time, and process until the mixture thickens. Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the reserved chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
  • Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Position the grill rack 4 to 6 inches above the fire.
  • Place the steak on the rack and sear, turning once, until nicely browned, about 1 minute on each side. Using long handled tongs to hold the meat, sear the edges. Then grill over a medium-hot fire (move the steak to the edge of the fire or raise the grill rack), turning once, 16-20 minutes total for medium rare, or until done to your liking. Transfer to a cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Cut meat from the bone, then slice the meat across the grain and serve on a warmed platter. Pass the sauce at the table.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I work full-time as a School Psychologist in Michigan. Besides the kids, one of the best aspects of the job is summer vacation, when I can concentrate on doing more of the things that I like to do---like look up recipes and play games on Recipezaar!!! I married my wonderful and handsome husband, Sean, in August 2007. He is becoming a wonderful gardender and tends to both our veggie and herb gardens. We really enjoy cooking with our own fresh ingredients. We most often cook together, so my reviews typically reflect our joint opinions. He's the better cook, so I pick up a lot of my techniques from him. My other interests include reading (now that I have time), Irish dancing (I've taken a class for the last several years), "appreciating" wine (I use the term very loosely), and listening to and going to see Irish bands (I love the Pogues). I also enjoy travelling, especially around Western Europe, where I have been multiple times. One of my favorite places is Italy, and Sean and I had a great time on our honeymoon eating, drinking, and sightseeing in the Cinque Terre and in Tuscany. This July 2009, we expanded our horizons to Eastern Europe and visited the Czech Republic, Slovenia, and Croatia. Two of my favorite dishes on the trip were Croatian: fish brodet and Hvarska gregada. I am looking forward to trying my hand at making them at home as I see that someone on Zaar, who is Croatian, posted recipes for both! Besides my husband, the other lights of my life are my cats: Chloe, Pip, and my newest ragdoll cat, Giselle, all of whom I absolutely adore. <a href="http://s341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/?action=view¤t=PipChloe_web.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/PipChloe_web.jpg" border="0" alt="Pip and Chloe"></a> <a href="http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/Giselle_zaar.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o388/courjen/Giselle_zaar.jpg" border="0" alt="Giselle"></a> I've participated in the following events: <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt= "Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/calendar%20clips/Copyofsoybean.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> I most recently had the privelege of being on the ZWT5 Team, the Sultans of Spice, with a great group of people.
