Who’s to say dinner can’t be both a spectacular gourmet feast and a potent source of nutrients? Not at all, especially after my friends and I managed to deploy the crispiest salsa verde to overcome the titan of culinary heavy lifting—a 1-kg porterhouse steak. In addition to testing our appetites, this gastronomic adventure revealed the variety of flavors and nutritional information concealed beneath one of the steakhouse’s signature dishes.
It was difficult not to wonder how such a basic dish could be so rewarding in so many ways as you took each soft, supple mouthful of that perfectly cooked beef. In addition to being scrumptious, the high-protein meat provided us with a good intake of nutrients to keep our bodies functioning. The brilliant green salsa verde, which was so fresh and tasty, lifted the whole dinner to a whole new level. Excellent food, excellent company, and good indulgence in a real feast of a dinner made for a memorable meal.
A porterhouse steak isn’t your typical meat. The tender filet and the delicious strip steak are two different universes that are separated by a T-shaped bone that ensures the best of both. This giant of hamburger joy is derived from the short flank. The porterhouse is a favorite among meat connoisseurs worldwide because of its generous portion size and unexpected flavor.
Anyway, before you jump deeply into this massive beast, let’s take a time to share some delicious details about what makes the porterhouse so much better than the others. The marbling of fat in the porterhouse steak adds flavor and pleasure to every mouthful, making it a furious joy. It has a charred surface that gives way to a luscious pink center that melts in your mouth when cooked precisely. The porterhouse offers a feast worthy of a sovereign, whether the meal is seared, skillet-singed, or grilled. So grab your steak blade and prepare to appreciate every delectable second of this gastronomic show.
Ingredients
- 20 ounces porterhouse steak
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon meat tenderizer
- 1 teaspoon steak seasoning
Directions:
- Place steak onto a plate; coat with olive oil, rub with tenderizer, then gently rub with steak seasoning. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat a grill for high heat. When hot, lightly oil the grate.
- Cook steak on the preheated grill until hot, slightly pink in the center, and beginning to firm, 3 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) for medium.

In terms of health, the porterhouse steak is basically as substantial as it seems. Given that its actual weight of an astounding 24 ounces overshadows its typical serving size, it makes sense that this steak is meant to be shared. Or, for those who are brave, a test that is prepared for them. The USDA suggests an extra discrete 3-ounce portion, but completely That doesn’t seem like much fun. You’re looking at 139 calories, a substantial 22.7 grams of protein, and nearly no carbohydrates per 3.5 ounces. Yes, you read correctly—no carbohydrates! This makes the porterhouse a fantastic choice for people following a low-carb, high-protein diet since it provides the majority of the protein your body needs without adding too many carbohydrates.
That’s not all, though; it’s simply about the protein in porterhouses. These vitamins and minerals are rich in the porterhouse. It’s a rich source of Vitamin B12, essential for DNA and red blood cell formation; Vitamin B6, which helps in breaking down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats; iron for proper growth and oxygen transport; zinc to strengthen your immune system; selenium to provide efficient and effective immune response; niacin for controlling cholesterol levels; and riboflavin for proper brain function and digestion. On a platter, this steak is like a multivitamin! It all boils down to moderation, though, as with all good indulgences.
Though portions should be taken into consideration, the lure of a complete 1kg porterhouse is incredibly alluring. Not to mention the increase in fats and calories when you choose the larger cut; too much protein can cause kidney strain and other health problems. One way to enjoy such rich flavors and high nutritional advantages without overindulging in the offering is to share the love—well, the steak—with friends or save some for later. Let’s go on to the salsa verde, a culinary marvel that enhanced our steak experience.

Sprite-like in its bright elegance, this ‘green sauce‘ consists of parsley, mint, capers, and cornichons drenched in red wine vinegar and rapeseed oil. Its acidic, herbaceous undertones cut through the steak’s richness, providing a welcome counterpoint to its delicious depth. Every bite became a symphony thanks to the perfect accompaniment of baby potatoes, which were fried till brown and garnished with butter and parsley. In actuality, though, it was the salsa verde. Nevertheless, one is left yearning when this type of flavor combination is used. What’s not to enjoy about herbs, brackish capers, and strong vinegar? And the crispiest baby potatoes you’ve ever seen. And because of that amazing explosion of flavors and textures, those bites were ones to be relished until the very end. A supper that is difficult to forget.
But when salsa verde is enthusiastically welcomed, the porterhouse becomes a feast of quality meat, healthy abundance, and creative preparation. A satisfying steak will take you right to the core of why dining is so enjoyable: enjoying a delicious dinner with companions, whether you’re a gourmet or someone who eats steaks every day. Remember that each time you eat that big chunk of meat, you are feeding your soul as much as your stomach.
