Asian-Style Cape Grim Porterhouse Steak

This is where good beef speaks for itself. A proper Cape Grim porterhouse doesn’t need much — just heat, seasoning, and something sharp to cut through the richness.

This Asian-style dressing does exactly that. Salty, acidic, a touch of heat, and fresh herbs to lift everything. It complements the beef without getting in the way.

Start with a quality Cape Grim porterhouse steak from The Lucky Pig and keep the rest simple.

Why this works

Porterhouse gives you the best of both worlds — tenderness and flavour. When you cook it properly and slice it right, you don’t need heavy sauces.

This style of dressing is built to enhance, not mask. Fish sauce for depth, lime for acidity, a little sweetness to balance, and fresh herbs to finish.

Butcher’s tip

Rest the steak properly before slicing. If you cut too early, you lose the juices and the eating quality drops immediately.
