Peter Luger–Style Brown Butter SteakTIME: 35 minutes // SERVES: 2 // DIFFICULTY: Medium WHAT DO I NEED? 1 large porterhouse or bone-in strip steak (1.5–2 inches thick)3 oz Brown ButterKosher saltFreshly cracked black pepperOptional: fresh parsley, flaky salt Take the steak out of the fridge 30–45 minutes before cooking and season generously with kosher salt on all sides.Preheat your pizza oven to 700–900°F with a cast iron pan inside until it’s ripping hot.Place the steak directly onto the hot cast iron in the pizza oven. Let it sear hard, flipping every 1–2 minutes to build an even crust.Continue cooking, turning frequently, until the internal temp reaches 120–125°F for medium-rare (it will carry over).Carefully remove the steak and let it rest for 5–10 minutes.While resting, warm the brown butter until melted and aromatic.Slice the steak off the bone, then cut into thick strips (Peter Luger style).Return sliced steak briefly to the hot pan in the pizza oven (optional, for extra char), then transfer to a serving plate.Spoon warm brown butter all over the steak and finish with black pepper, flaky salt, and parsley if using.
