Greek Seasoned Porterhouse Steak with Cucumber and Tomato Salad

This juicy, mouth-watering, grilled Greek Seasoned Porterhouse Steak with Cucumber and Tomato Salad was adapted from the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association recipe on AllRecipes.com.  It was so juicy and full of flavor that there were no left overs after this meal.

When my husband’s doctor told him that he should cut down on carbs, hubby was bummed. However, he was very happy to learn that beef can fit in a healthy balanced diet.  It is one of the proteins included on the USDA MyPlate nutrition guide, and has several essential nutrients as listed in Beef! It’s What’s For Dinner!!

I made my own greek seasoning because it is so easy to do, and I can make it just the way I like it, while saving money.   In addition, I can control the amount of salt.   I mixed the greek seasoning, lemon juice, and lemon peel with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and brushed it on the steak before grilling.

Before serving sprinkle the steaks with feta or blue cheese.   Serve with the cucumber tomato salad on the side.
