Some individuals consider barbecue to be nothing more than roasting or broiling meat over a fire. Finding the right type and cut of meat is the first step in barbecuing. Next, the ideal marinade, rub, and sauce must be obtained in order to produce the ideal piece of grilled meat. To make sure everything works out well, we must choose the best barbecue grill before moving on to choose the meat, marinade, and sauces. Here are some all-time favorite recipes that you can grill in the backyard of your Texas Apartment.
Porterhouse With Summer Au Poivre Sauce
It’s difficult to get the interior of a porterhouse steak to a blushing, consistent medium-rare. Constantly repositioning the meat in relation to the fire ensures that the strip side receives the majority of the heat while the tenderloin remains protected, and the plattered steak appears to be a marvelous meaty magic trick. Pickled green peppercorns add a softer punch to the sauce than black peppercorns, as well as chewy pops of texture. If you can’t find them, substitute half the amount of black peppercorns for the bright floral aroma.
Ingredients for 2–4 servings
Vegetable oil (for grill)
2 Tbsp. drained pickled green peppercorns, plus more for serving

Grill the steak over indirect heat (keeping the tenderloin side away from the heat) for 10-12 minutes, turning every 1-2 minutes and moving closer to or farther away from the heat as needed to build even color, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the steak registers 120° for medium-rare.
