Turf and Turf

“I call this turf ‘n’ turf. It’s a 16-ounce T-bone and a 24-ounce porterhouse. Also, whisky and a cigar. I am going to consume all of this at once because I am a free American.”

-Ron Swanson, Sweetums, Season 3, Episode 15

A T-bone steak and a Porterhouse steak are the same cuts of beef, from slightly different parts of the loin area of a cow.

Serves: Ron Swanson or an entire Little League team

Prep time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 16-ounce T-bone steak, 1 ½ inches thick

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cloves garlic for roasting
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Directions

  1. Set grill to “conflagration”.
  2. Rub steaks with garlic and pepper.
  3. When grill is hot, cook steaks, searing the outsides until they are black. Cook 7 minutes on each side; exteriors will be brown, but animal will have stopped mooing.
