Porterhouse Steak

 Ingredients

• 4 porterhouse steaks, about 3 cm thick
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Freshly ground black pepper

 Method

Step 1
Remove the steak from the fridge and lightly brush with olive oil. Season with the salt and pepper.
Step 2
Preheat the barbecue for direct cooking.
Once the barbecue is preheated, leave all the burners on high.
Step 3
Place the steaks on the grill. Using the back of your tongs, gently press down on the steak to ensure good contact with the grill.
Step 4
Close the lid and cook for between 3 and 6 minutes per side, depending on how well done you would like the steak cooked (see timing guide). Turn the steak once, halfway through the total cooking time.
Step 5
Remove the steak from the barbecue and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
