Ingredients:
12 ounces pork fatback, cubed
12 garlic cloves, peeled
2 teaspoons dried rosemary
2 (24 -28 ounce) porterhouse steaks
coarse salt, to taste
pepper, freshly ground
Directions:
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.
Put the fatback, garlic and rosemary into a food processor and blend until it is the consistency of toothpaste.
Rub the fat mixture evenly over the meat and season with coarse salt and fresh ground pepper.
Use a hot, clean, oiled grill and grill the steaks for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side for medium rare.
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.
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.
Serve and enjoy!
