Instant-read thermometer

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
- 2 Tbsp chopped chives
- 1 Tbsp plus 2½ tsp Pig's Ass Memphis Style Rub
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 (1-inch-thick) porterhouse steak (about 1¼ pounds)
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- Fresh oregano sprigs for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In medium bowl, stir butter, chives, 1½ teaspoons Pig’s Ass Rub and lemon juice.
- Place a cast iron skillet on the grill grate of a gas or charcoal grill. Preheat the grill on high heat (375°F) for 15 minutes. Sprinkle steak with remaining 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon Pig’s Ass Rub.
- Add the oil to the skillet and use an oven mitt to grab the skillet and swirl the oil around in the skillet. Use tongs to place the steak in the hot cast iron skillet. Cook the steak, uncovered, 8 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the steak reaches 125°F for medium-rare, turning once halfway through cooking.
- Remove the skillet from the hot grill grate; loosely cover with aluminum foil and let stand 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before slicing.
- Top the steak with 2 tablespoons Compound Butter and garnish with oregano sprigs, if desired. Slice the steak across the grain to serve.
