T-Bone on the Memphis Pro
« on: November 04, 2020, 07:08:03 PM »
Special treat tonight -- T-Bone Steak!  We really don't eat much steak, but I saw this on sale for $7.95 a pound and could not resist.  It was big enough that one could be split between us.  Bent cooked on Memphis Pro and did a beautiful job. Can't believe people don't think pellet pits can char and grill.  Sauteed mushrooms and baked potato with butter and sour cream.  Definitely not a low cal meal, but a real treat!

I am with you on that one. I love a good steak.

Tbone?

I would think that would be more Porterhouse with the size of the fillet left on there. Either way it looks great, with the baked tater and mushrooms. The only thing that could improve on that would be a nice frosted mug of Yuengling, or a room temp bottle of Yuengling.

Yes, a nice looking porterhouse.  My favorite steak cut.  What grocery store did you buy them at?  I may need to look for them as I drive thru VA in a few weeks.

Bent said the fillet would have had to be bigger and thicker to be a true porterhouse.  I bought it at our local Martin's which is part of the Giant food chain.

It was not as traditional a T-bone in the "bone" sense.  The bone did not run all the ay down the Strip, and the filet was not as pronounced looking as it appears in the picture.  A true Porterhouse to me is not only a larger cut of the filet, but also a thicker cut, usually in the 18-24oz size of steak!

Now that's a Porterhouse!

I believe the porterhouse is where the fillet is the widest.  Thickness is a preference of the butcher but not a distinction of t-bone versus porterhouse.  As the fillet tapers down, it starts to become a t-bone steak.

Yes and no on thickness.  You are right concerning where it comes from, but I think most butchers would say a Porterhouse should be at least 1 1/2 inches thick!

I usually try to buy ones that are about 1.5#

I used to love the ones on Travel Channel when they would do the steakhouse shows.  They showed one at Peter Luger's and it had to be a 2 1/2 to 3lb Porterhouse, but I guess for $115 it should be.  I believe it was for 2, but just a huge steak.  I guess it is the reason they start them under a 1800° broiler and then finish in the oven!

That photograph that Bentley posted is the best looking Porterhouse I've seen.  And I watched my dad cut a lot of them.  (He sawed the bone by hand.)

He used to say that there are only two Porterhouse steaks on a side of beef.  (I think it was per side and not per carcass.)

Have any of you cooked one like a roast?
