2 servings
- 1 porterhouse steak, about 1 ½ inches thick (approximately 1 ½ lb)
Ingredient noteHistamine levels rise the longer meat sits after butchering. Buy beef as fresh as possible, ideally flash-frozen, and cook it promptly.
- 1 ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ tsp ground turmeric
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient noteSmall amounts of ground ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
For serving
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking and pat it completely dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the salt, turmeric, ginger, rosemary, thyme, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to form a paste. Rub the paste evenly over both sides and the edges of the steak.
