Weber Kettle Grilled Porterhouse Steak with Thyme-Butter and Lemon

Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Course: BBQ
Servings: 2

Equipment

  • 1 Weber Kettle Grill
  • Charcoal briquets  
  • 1 Charcoal Chimney Fire Starter
  • Barbecue Tongs

Ingredients

  • 1 One very large thick porterhouse steak (approximately 2 pounds and 1 ½ inches thick)
  • 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons 1/2 a stick unsalted butter
  • 6 sprigs thyme sprigs
  • 2 whole lemons cut in half crosswise

Instructions

  • Set up your Weber Kettle grill – Fill your charcoal chimney fire starter with charcoal briquettes, and when ready, empty the chimney in the center of the charcoal grate and, with tongs, spread them around to form a neat pile.
  • Bring the porterhouse steak to room temperature – Let the porterhouse steak rest on a plate for 15 minutes. Then, wipe off the moisture and liberally apply the salt and pepper to both sides.
  • Place the porterhouse steak on the Weber Kettle grill grate – Place the porterhouse steak in the grill grate directly over the coals and grill for 5 minutes, then flip it over and grill for another five minutes. Check the internal temperature of the porterhouse steak in the thickest part with a meat thermometer. You’re looking for a temperature of 130 degrees for medium rare. Also, when you flip the steak, place the four lemon halves on the grill cut side down in order to char the lemon.
  • Make the thyme-butter – While the porterhouse steak is grilling, melt the butter in a sauté pan, add the thyme sprigs, and let it cook for a few minutes.
  • Remove the porterhouse steak from the Weber Kettle – Place the grilled porterhouse steak on a plate and let it rest for five minutes. Drizzle the thyme-butter over the porterhouse steak, then squeeze the grilled lemon over the steak. Carve and serve.
