The porterhouse is what we call a composite steak: the cut is, in fact, two steaks attached by a T-shaped bone. The smaller of these two steaks is the tenderloin, and the larger is the top loin (known in the States as the New York Strip.)
Peter Bouchier’s butchers have deboned the porterhouse, offering you two thick, succulent steaks.
As you can imagine, a single porterhouse steak offers quite a bit of meat and can be a challenge for even the famished eater. It is entirely possible to feed two with a single porterhouse. Easier said than done. After all, who like sharing their steak?
You do not choose a porterhouse because you are a light eater. You choose a porterhouse because you feel brave.
When ordering porterhouse beef steak from your butcher, there are three qualities you must look for. The first is the thickness of the cut. We believe a porterhouse should be at least 1.5cm thick; anything thinner is a poor joke, and anything thicker risks becoming a chore to cook properly. The second quality is the freshness of the meat; it should go without saying that the fresher, the better. Finally, we come to the marbling. A good porterhouse should be veined with white fat, which will render during cooking to flavour the meat and keep it moist.
Buying a porterhouse steak online can be nerve-wracking. It’s hard to divine the quality of a steak you cannot see. Which is why it’s a matter of trust — and you can trust that Peter Bouchier’s butchers will never approve a porterhouse order unless it was fit for royalty.
We prefer our porterhouse steaks medium-rare. We strongly recommend using a meat thermometer to gauge how thoroughly you’ve cooked your beef porterhouse.
The less fuss, the better. Here is our preferred method for cooking porterhouse steaks:
That is a matter of preference and usually comes down to the chef’s presentation.
We debone our porterhouse steaks because the top loin and tenderloin cuts have different compositions of meat and fat. These differences cause them to cook at marginally yet noticeably different rates.
With a deboned steak, you can pay respect to each cut with the attention it deserves.
This is a common question; it is exceedingly easy to confuse a porterhouse for a T-bone and vice versa. Both steaks are cut from nearly the same section of the cow, and both are (usually) presented with the T-shaped bone left in.
The difference between the porterhouse steak and T-bone steak is the amount of meat on them. Looking at a bone-in porterhouse, you will notice it has more meat on one side of the bone than the other. The larger cut of beef is the top loin, and the smaller cut is known as the tenderloin. The porterhouse steak has a larger tenderloin cut than the T-bone steak, though the top loin remains about the same size for both.
