A porterhouse steak is a large, premium cut of beef that combines two prized steaks in one: the tenderloin (filet mignon) on one side of the bone and the strip steak (New York strip) on the other. It's cut from the rear end of the short loin, where the tenderloin is at its thickest, making it larger than a T-bone steak.
This cut is known for its rich marbling, bold flavor, and tenderness—perfect for grilling, broiling, or pan-searing. With its generous size and variety of textures, the porterhouse is ideal for sharing or for hearty appetites looking to enjoy the best of both worlds.
