  • 2 porterhouse steaks, each about 800 grams and 4 centimeters thick, trimmed of excess fat
  • Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoonsAbreviation molasses
  • 2 teaspoonsAbreviation Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoonsAbreviation Dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Crush the peppercorns and mustard seed in a spice mill. Pour into a small bowl and combine with the remaining rub ingredients.
  • Lightly brush both sides of each steak with oil and season evenly with the rub. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Prepare the grill for indirect cooking over high heat (230° to 290°C).
  • In a small saucepan whisk the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes on the stove.
  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Sear the steaks over direct heat for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. Continue grilling over indirect high heat until cooked to your desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes more for medium rare, turning once or twice. Keep the lid closed as much as possible during grilling. Remove the steaks from the grill and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the two main pieces of steak from either side of the bone (the tenderloin and the strip steak). Cut each section across the grain into 6-millimeter slices and serve warm with the sauce.
