Whip up a tasty porterhouse with parmesan tomatoes from Curtis Stone for a quick family meal.
Ingredients:
  • 4 beef porterhouse steaks, at room temperature
  • 2 tsp black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
  • 300g baby broccoli, stems trimmed
  • 1/4 tsp red chilli pepper flakes, crushed
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 20.00 ml fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 40.00 ml dried breadcrumbs
  • 62.50 ml Parmigiano Reggiano Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 medium field tomatoes, halved, cored and spoon out half the flesh
  • Italian balsamic vinegar, to serve
Instructions:
  • Heat both the grill and a char grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Massage each steak generously with olive oil and season liberally with salt and freshly cracked black peppercorns.
  • Combine baby broccoli with fragrant garlic, spicy chili pepper flakes, zesty lemon zest, and a drizzle of 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium mixing bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper for a burst of flavor.
  • Grill steaks on a char grill pan for 3-4 minutes per side to achieve medium-rare doneness. Transfer steaks to a cutting board and allow them to rest for 3 minutes before serving.
  • Grill baby broccoli on the char grill pan alongside the steaks for 6-8 minutes, flipping occasionally, until tender with a light char.
  • As the steaks and baby broccoli cook, mix basil, breadcrumbs, and parmesan in a small bowl. Grease a baking tray and place tomatoes flesh side up on it. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the parmesan mixture evenly on top of each tomato. Place the tray under the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly and the crust turns golden brown. Keep an eye on the tomatoes to avoid burning the crust.
  • Arrange the baby broccoli evenly on 4 plates.
  • Slice each steak into 6 pieces and fan them beside the baby broccoli on each plate. Top with a tomato and drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.
