Porterhouse - Angus High choice- 5 steaks

Introduction to Porterhouse Steaks

At Huntspoint Meat Company, we pride ourselves on offering the finest porterhouse steaks, a cut that symbolizes the pinnacle of dining luxury. This comprehensive guide will take you through the journey of understanding, choosing, and cooking porterhouse steaks.

Selection Tips

• Look for steaks with a clear, defined separation between the tenderloin and strip sections.
• Opt for cuts that are at least 1 ¼ inches thick, as per USDA standards for a true porterhouse.

Difference Between Porterhouse and T-Bone Steaks

The main difference between porterhouse and T-bone steaks lies in the size of the tenderloin section. Both steaks include a T-shaped bone with meat on both sides, but the porterhouse features a larger tenderloin, making it a premium choice for steak lovers.

• Porterhouse Steak: Must have a tenderloin section at least 1.25 inches thick. This cut offers a luxurious dining experience, combining the tenderness of the filet mignon with the rich flavor of a New York strip.
• T-Bone Steak: Has a smaller tenderloin portion, less than 1.25 inches thick. It still provides a delicious blend of flavors and textures, but with a more modest tenderloin size.

Choosing between these two depends on personal preference for the tenderloin size and the occasion. Porterhouse is often favored for special occasions due to its larger size and generous tenderloin.

Cooking Your Porterhouse

Whether grilling, broiling, or pan-searing, achieving the perfect doneness is key. Here, we share expert tips to bring out the rich flavors and tender texture of your steak.
