Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil plus more for slate
2 2-2 1/2"-thick porterhouse steaks (about 4 pounds total), room temperature
1/4 cup herbes de Provence
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Instructions

If using a charcoal grill, prepare for high heat. Place slate on grill grates and heat (don't worry if it splits or cracks; it can still be used). If using a gas grill, place slate on grates, then heat grill to high (cover grill while heating and grilling). Using paper towels and long-handled tongs, lightly coat slate with oil.
Sprinkle steaks with herbes de Provence and season with salt and pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Drizzle each steak with 2 tablespoons oil to moisten herbs. Grill on hot slate until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 115 °F for medium-rare (the temperature will continue to rise as steaks rest), 10-15 minutes per side.
Transfer to a cutting board or platter and let rest 20 minutes before slicing.
