Ep 5. Porterhouse Steak in the Wood Fired Oven

I make a beautiful Porterhouse Steak in the oven using the Tuscan Grill. To go with it are some delicious smashed potatoes and roasted tomatoes. For more recipes and updates on new episodes be sure to subscribe to this channel and visit my website thewoodfiredovenchef.com.

Brandon Cassidy more than likely they are high temp electrical gloves or high temp chemical gloves. As both are heavily insulated.

The multitude of sounds coming from the oven as the steak was cooking was glorious

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

😂 Thank you

[@CainanParker]

I found your channel because I’m getting my wood fired oven in about 2 weeks. I didn’t realise you’d inspire me as much as you have. Your videos on the tools and equipment through to videos like this just amaze me. I didn’t realise how much of an art this style of cooking is. I’m so excited! Thank you 😊

Oh man! Clive your videos are a work of art. I could almost taste that wonderful looking steak. Just needs a glass of red wine and a king would be humbled to habe that meal served to him. Cheers from México.

[@pyne1976]

Amazing quality video, love your passion. I think I have to build one now.

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Yes Greg, you have to, then tell me all about it.

[@MugatuNow]

Congratulations on your excellent videos and I love your passion for wood fire ovens, which I share. It’s all the little details that make such a difference and I’ve learnt many new things from your videos. In particular I always thought you needed to move the fire and coals to the side rather than the back in order to create a circular convection of air, but when I do, it becomes harder to regulate the temperature of the cooking In the way that you do by having the flames and coals in the back of the oven. Thanks again. Nat

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Hello Nat. Thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it, and glad you found them informative. The only time I put the fire to the side is when I'm making pizza, primarily so I can see the side of the pizza that's facing the fire and then turn it when that side is done. It's harder to do that when the fire is at the back and the pizza is facing away from you. Having the fire on the side does give you more depth in the oven, but I still find placing the fire in the back gives a little more flexibility with temperature.

Perfection. Well done Sir. Each step 100% accurate. I loved the camera shot 3:53 where you were carefully watching the fire/steak cooking and giving it your full attention. So many little things when doing this type of cooking that you capture in your videos. This really is the best I have seen on how to do all of this "correctly" (at least in my estimation). Your heat management translates to several other "old style" methods of cooking with live fire. Really first rate. Thank you for sharing. Best to you and yours. Pats for the pup.
