Ingredients  

  • 1 porterhouse steak
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • Let the steak come to room temperature for 30-60 minutes and season both sides with coarse sea salt.
  • Preheat the Ooni pizza oven to 600-700°F and heat a cast iron skillet for 5 minutes.
  • Place the steak on the skillet, searing for 4 minutes per side. Rotate occasionally for even cooking.
  • Remove steak and slice into portions, keeping the bone in the skillet.
  • Add melted butter, baste the slices, and return the skillet to the Ooni for 2-3 minutes.
  • Rest the steak for 5 minutes, drizzle with pan juices, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Dry your steak. It's hard to overstate the importance of pat-drying the steak before throwing it into the Ooni. My steak was still just a *little* moist and I didn't get the sear I wanted. 
  • Ooni temp. Be patient heating up your Ooni, or whatever cooking device you're using. It took mine almost 30 minutes to come up to a temperature over 600F. I used mostly charcoal with a few wood blocks.
  • Don't overcook it. Because the Ooni is so hot, this steak cooks fast. Don't be afraid to pull it out and temp it every two minutes or so to make sure you're not overcooking it.
