What is a Porterhouse Steak – T-Bone Steak Filet Mignon & Strip Steak

The spruce eats / Lindsay Kreighbaum

The undisputed king of the steakhouse a porterhouse steak can weigh up to 2 pounds; it's the classic "over-the-plate" dinner extravaganza. Commonly marketed in restaurants as a meal for two the porterhouse pairs tender filet mignon with beefy New York strip eliminating the need to make a difficult choice.

The porterhouse is a composite steak that is derived from the point where the tenderloin and top loin meet. If you remove the bone and cut out the two steaks that form the porterhouse you will end up with a tenderloin and a top loin (or New York strip steak). So if you order a porterhouse expect large portions!
