ingredients
- 1 (2 lb) porterhouse steaks or (2 lb) strip steaks, 2-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
- 2 -3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon rock salt
-
Whiskey Sauce
- 1⁄4 lb unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped onions
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons whiskey (I like Jack Daniels)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 dash Tabasco sauce
directions
- Trim away any excess fat from the steak or steaks. Press the crushed peppercorns and garlic onto both sides of the steak and let it stand at room temperature 1 hour.
- Heat a heavy iron skillet over high heat. Grease the skillet with a piece of the fat trimmed from the steak. Toss in about half the salt. Sear the steaks quickly on one side, then lift out; add the remaining salt to the skillet, turn the steak and sear the other side. Reduce the heat to moderate and cook the steaks as desired. Remove to a warmed platter.
- Make the sauce. Pour off fat from the skillet. Melt the butter in the skillet over low heat; add the onion and garlic and cook slowly until soft, stirring often. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the steak or steaks and serve.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
