    My DD and SIL had their honeymoon in Italy in December. For a gift to her father, she sent 2 wonderful porterhouse steaks and a fabulous menu complete with recipes so that we could share Italy with them.

    Directions:

    1. 1
      Remove the steaks from the refrigerator, rinse under water, pat dry with paper towels and allow to sit at room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
    2. 2
      Put the fatback, garlic and rosemary into a food processor and blend until it is the consistency of toothpaste.
    3. 3
      Rub the fat mixture evenly over the meat and season with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper.
    4. 4
      Use a hot, clean, oiled grill and grill the steaks for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare.
    5. 5
      The fillet will cook a little faster than the strip loin. Move the steaks frequently, approximately every 2 minutes or so, for even cooking and a crispy exterior.
    6. 6
      When the steaks are cooked, take them off the grill and allow to rest for 5 to 7 minutes. The resting allows the blood to circulate and distributes the juices evenly.
    7. 7
      Serve and enjoy!
