Porterhouse Steak with
Roasted Garlic

steak

TENDER AND JUICY

There’s nothing like a nice juicy Porterhouse Steak smothered in roasted garlic with a hint of rosemary on top. This Tuscan style steak fills the room with the aroma of fresh rosemary and garlic. Grilled or broiled you can’t go wrong serving this delicious steak.

The porterhouse is one of the best cuts of meat you can find. In Tuscany they use the Chianina breed of cattle which is an ancient breed that is difficult to find in the US. This breed of cattle is probably one of the oldest breeds in existence and originated in the west central part of Italy. The name comes from the Chiana Valley in the province of Tuscany.

To find a source for Chianina beef contact the American Chianina Association or buy your steaks from another breed that is well aged and around two inches thick. I like the Porterhouse Steak the best because you get the strip steak side and the more tender fillet side. The best of both words.
