What the AI looks for in Beef Porterhouse Steaks
- Tenderloin width
- Under USDA naming, a porterhouse's tenderloin portion must be at least 1.25 inches wide at its widest point. This is what separates a true porterhouse from a T-bone, and it is the part you are paying extra for.
- Thickness
- At least 1.5 inches. The bone and the two different muscles cook unevenly when the steak is thin.
- Grade
- Choice or Prime. The strip side needs marbling to match the tenderness of the filet side.
Brands that matter
- Allen Brothers: Prime and dry-aged porterhouse, a steakhouse-style option.
- Chicago Steak Company: Thick Prime porterhouse sold in gift boxes.
What to avoid
- Thin porterhouse under 1.25 inch.
- Listings that call a small-filet T-bone a porterhouse.
Questions
Porterhouse or T-bone?
They are the same cut, but a porterhouse comes from further back on the short loin and has a larger tenderloin portion.
