Here's the perfect excuse to serve a romantic dinner for you and your sweetheart -- Porterhouse for Two, just like the name says!

What You'll Need

  • 1 beef porterhouse steak, 2 inches thick (about 2 pounds)
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

What to Do

  1. Rub the steak with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the salt, and pepper.
     
  2. In a large skillet over high heat, heat remaining oil  Add the steak and place the onions and garlic around it. Brown steak about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then turn steak and onions over; cover and cook 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired doneness.
     
  3. Cut the beef away from the bone, slice across the grain and serve topped with the caramelized onions.
     

Notes

What's a better side dish than creamed spinach - and it's so easy! Just sauté a chopped onion in a little butter and add a package of frozen spinach that's been thawed and drained, salt (if desired), pepper, and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Stir until hot and thickened.
