This is one of the spiciest and most flavorful porterhouse steak marinades ever and, if you like your meat to have a hot kick to it, you are sure to enjoy this. Garlic, chili powder and black pepper are the main components in this porterhouse steak marinade and the marinade is quite thick - more of a paste than a liquid.
Some marinades are very watery, usually the ones with citrus juice in, but this one has oil to make it a marinade rather than a rub and porterhouse steaks do not need much tenderizing anyway. If you want to cook a tough steak, you might want to choose one of our other easy steak marinades with citrus juice or an acidic base.
Ingredients -
8 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon black pepper
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 tablespoons chipotle chili powder
6 tablespoons salt
2 lbs porterhouse steak
Preparation:
Combine the oil, salt, chili powder, and garlic until you get a thick paste.
Rub the paste over the steak, then cover it and chill it in the refrigerator for a few hours, to let the marinade flavors penetrate the meat.
Grill the steak over a very hot grill for a couple of minutes per side, then move the meat to a slightly cooler part of the grill or turn the heat down to medium and keep grilling the meat until it is done.
