Porterhouse Steaks with Salsa Verde

This is a very simple type of steak dish to make if your looking for a nice fresh & vibrant foil to a nice hunk of meat. This salsa verde is like a pesto genovese but uses flat leaf parsley in place of the basil and has an added touch of delicious 25 year aged balsamic vinegar.
