Youβve dreamed about it all week: the prime porterhouse patiently waiting in your butcherβs case for you to bring home wrapped in brown paper. You canβt wait to fire up the grill, season the well-marbled red meat, and slap it over the hot coals. You can hear the sizzle as it cooks, smell the tantalizing aroma; you can practically taste the perfectly seared, juicy steak. You never intend to overcook it, but sometimes you do, ruining a thick, expensive steak. Never fear.
