Everyone loves a T-bone steak. It looks impressive\u2014they did make it the steak emoji, after all!\u2014and is full of beefy flavor. It cooks to tender perfection, whether seared in a pan on the stovetop or cooked over hot coals on the grill. This simple T-bone steak recipe enhances the meat with a quick marinade, then gives it a hot sizzle over fire and a final flourish of rich garlic-herb butter. It’s the one to grab when planning a backyard barbecue or steakhouse meal at home, complete with garlic mashed potatoes<\/a> and easy popovers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aptly named for the shape of the bone that runs across the top and through the middle of the steak, a T-bone is a unique type of steak<\/a>. Cut from the short loin, a T-bone features two steaks separated by the bone: a strip steak and a tenderloin. Both parts of a T-bone have a deep, beefy flavor, with the strip having more marbling and the tenderloin staying more tender.<\/p>\n Because the steak features two cuts of beef, it can cook unevenly. Thankfully, there’s a way to use the grill’s natural hot spots to your benefit. Some grilling tips<\/a> include placing the larger strip steak side of the T-bone over a hotter section than the tenderloin side, and then flipping and moving the steak as needed.<\/p>\n In a bowl, combine the soft butter, minced parsley, minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Stir until combined. Cover and refrigerate the herb butter until serving.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Make the flavored butter a day ahead, shape it into a log, wrap it in parchment or wax paper, and refrigerate it. When the steaks are ready, unwrap and slice the butter to place on them.<\/p>\n In a shallow dish, combine the oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder.<\/p>\n Add the steaks, turning to coat them in the oil mixture. Let the steaks stand at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning once.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> The olive oil helps the seasoning adhere to the steaks and keep them from sticking to the grill grate. If you oil your grill grate first, skip the oil on the steaks and simply season them.<\/p>\n Grill the steaks over medium-high heat, covered, until the meat reaches the desired doneness, four to six minutes on each side. For medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135\u00b0F, medium should read 140\u00b0, and medium-well should read 145\u00b0.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Since a T-bone is made up of two different steak cuts, take the temperature of the meat from both sides since they cook at slightly different rates.<\/p>\n Remove the steaks from the grill and top each one with 1 tablespoon of herb butter. Let the steaks stand for five minutes before serving them.<\/p>\n If you’re not cooking the T-bone steak the day you buy it, remove it from the supermarket packaging and wrap it well in storage wrap or butcher paper to keep the meat from oxidizing and turning brown. Once cooked, you can store a T-bone steak whole or carve the meat off the bone first. Store it in an airtight container or zip-top bag (it may be easier to fit whole steaks in a bag), or wrap it in storage wrap and foil to keep the meat from drying out.<\/p>\n Uncooked red meat lasts<\/a> for up to five days in the refrigerator, and cooked meat lasts up to four days. You can also freeze the steaks for up to six months for cooked meat and 12 months for uncooked. When freezing steaks<\/a>, everything needs to be well-wrapped for best results\u00a0to prevent freezer burn.<\/p>\n When cooking a pricier cut of meat like a T-bone, it’s natural to worry about how to reheat steak<\/a> so it doesn’t overcook and become dry and tough. For a whole steak, the best way is to reheat it in a low oven on a rack set over a baking sheet until it’s warmed through, using a thermometer to determine when it’s ready. For smaller pieces or slices of leftover steak, quickly warm them with a splash of broth or water in the microwave or a skillet.<\/p>\n If you don’t have a grill, you can still make an excellent steak in several ways. A heavy cast-iron skillet allows for deep browning on the steak’s exterior, though you may have to cook the steaks one at a time, like in this cast-iron skillet steak<\/a> recipe. If using a thinner skillet that doesn’t hold heat as well as cast iron, brown the steaks quickly on the stovetop and then transfer them to the oven to finish cooking, like in this baked steak<\/a> recipe. Lastly, a stovetop grill is an excellent replacement for an outdoor grill and cooks in a similar amount of time.<\/p>\n Every cut of meat has a natural grain, which refers to the direction of the meat’s muscle fibers. When you cut a steak the right way<\/a>\u2014that is, across the grain\u2014the meat is tender and easy to chew because the fibers have been cut into shorter pieces. Sometimes, the fibers can be easy to see, like in a flank or skirt steak. But the more tender the meat, the finer the fibers. If you start slicing and realize you are cutting with the grain, it’s not a problem. Just rotate the steak and start slicing again.<\/p>\n The good news is that grilled T-bone steak pairs well with just about anything, so the options are never-ending. Take advantage of the hot grill and make grilled corn on the cob<\/a>, grilled potatoes<\/a> or a grilled vegetable platter<\/a>. For something more classic, channel steak frites<\/a> and serve a heap of crispy French fries on the side. To add some green to the table, quick creamed spinach<\/a> or a salad with your favorite salad dressing<\/a> rounds out the meal.<\/p>\n Leftover steak<\/a> can be sliced cold and served over a salad or layered in a sandwich, or you can repurpose it a little more creatively and use it in a steak hash<\/a> or roll it into a steak burrito<\/a>. Don’t forget to save the leftover bones to make homemade beef stock<\/a> or bone broth<\/a>. Stash the bones in a freezer-safe storage bag until you have enough to make a batch.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lightly seasoned, grilled and topped with a garlic-herb
