What is the difference between a Porterhouse steak and a T-Bone Steak?
Porterhouse Steak is cut from the larger end of the short loin. They have a T-shaped bone and contain meat from both the strip loin and tenderloin. The tenderloin muscle must be at least 1¼ inches (3.2cm) when measured across the center. If the tenderloin muscle is larger than a silver dollar - it's a Porterhouse. Portion Size: 12 to 48 ounces
T-Bone Steak is cut from the center of the short loin and with the T-shaped bone. The T-bone also contains meat from the strip loin and (smaller) tenderloin. The tenderloin muscle must be at least ½ inch (13mm) when measured across its center. Portion Size: 8 to 24 ounces
