I got a huge 2 inch thick 3lb porterhouse steak and need some suggestions on how to grill such a large chunk of meat. I like my steaks medium rare pink throughout with a warm red center.

Thanks

Put it on a plate, sprinkle with sea salt and crushed black pepper. Let sit for an hour. Use lump charcoal to start a fire in your grill. When the temp reaches around 500 degrees, pick up the plate with the steak and walk by the grill on your way to the table. That is as much as you should cook good meat.

Salt the steak 4-5 hours in advance.






Light your coals and get 'em up to forge-welding temps. Shove them off to the side, so about half of your grill grate will have no coals underneath it.







Grill the steak right on the coals. Flip it every 30 seconds until it has a nice brown crust on both "faces." Do the same for the sides and then pull the steak off onto a plate.







Put the grate on the grill and let it get hot. Put your steak on the grate, onto the cool side, cap it, and check internal temp every few minutes. Pull  it when it's about 125 degrees. Eat.

A steak that thick, reverse sear.  All other methods are wrong.

HUGE +1 to that...

Reverse sear method is the ONLY way to properly cook a steak of that thickness... any other way has some variation of compromise (crust, doneness etc)...
