Ingredients
- 2 T-bone or porterhouse steaks, each about
- 1 3/4 lb. and 1 1/2 inches thick
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 2 cups tender, young arugula leaves
- 2-oz. piece Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, cut
- into thin shavings with a vegetable peeler
- Extra-virgin olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Remove the steaks from the refrigerator 2 hours before grilling.
- Prepare a medium-hot fire in a grill and let burn until the coals are covered with white ash. Leave the coals heaped in the center of the grill; do not spread them out. If using a gas grill, preheat on medium-high.
- Using tongs (to avoid piercing the meat), set the steaks on the grill, if possible at a slight angle, about 5 inches above hot but not flaming coals (or over the heating element of the gas grill). This will keep the dripping fat from igniting the coals. Grill until the first side is well browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the steaks over, sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 to 7 minutes more. Turn the steaks again and sprinkle with salt. The meat should be well browned on both sides and pink and juicy inside.
- Transfer the steaks to a carving board and cut across the grain into 1/2-inch slices, removing the bone. Arrange the slices on a serving platter and top with any juices accumulated on the carving board. Season generously with pepper, scatter the arugula and Parmigiano-Reggiano on top, drizzle with olive oil and serve. Serves 4.
