porterhouses

Premium beef steaks

Porterhouses are thick cuts of beef steak from the short loin, containing a T-shaped bone with meat on both sides—tenderloin on one, strip steak on the other.

The porterhouse is distinguished from the smaller T-bone by having a larger portion of tenderloin.

We ordered porterhouses for the whole table.
