Porterhouse steak to perfection

More Ogden beef!  This time, a most delicious porterhouse steak.  I was surprised that this was grass-fed beef, it was that tender.  And well cooked.  Lately, we've discovered that pan frying the steak to get a sear, then finishing it in the oven, produces a perfectly even medium-rare steak.  And boy was this one delicious!  We had it at 300F, for I think 15min... check it after 10, and keep checking it.


We served this steak with a maple cabbage and apple slaw (with beets!) and some cauliflower and cheese.  More on those in another post - the cabbage slaw was definitely worth making again!  Those are some fried oyster mushrooms on top of the steak.  I highly recommend trying to cook a steak this way!  Use a cast iron frying pan, because then you can get it nice and hot for the sear, and stick the whole thing in the oven.  



Ed, I'm going to take a picture of you eating steak.  Go rawrrr.  *slurp*
