Meal No. 3667: Grilled Porterhouse Steaks

The formative experience of a childhood and youth where we ate a lot of steak has me hardwired to love it still, even if I have cut back these last few years on the frequency with which it appears. Large porterhouse slabs hot off a sizzling grill were a welcome sight on Monday night, though, when a decent enough sale put them in reasonable reach. A nudge past the ideal temp but still tender and juicy, start to finish felt like a lengthy undertaking given how much meat there was, and how indulgently I wanted to enjoy it. I also decided to try a variation with the potatoes on the side, cutting them like thinner less-wedgy steak fries, with ample spicing and a crisped finish in the oven. I might be down with those again soon, given how close to fried they turned out without the mess and unhealthy fat of cooking them in oil.
