From the counter

About dry aged porterhouse.

A true porterhouse has both a generous strip steak and a generous filet — separated by a T-shaped bone. We cut from whole short loins, so the filet side is the real, large piece (a smaller filet means it's technically a T-bone, not a porterhouse).

Hung 28 days minimum, this is the steak we put on the case for two people who want to share the difference between the two cuts in one bite — the strip's beef character vs. the filet's quiet tenderness, both on the same bone.

Cut to 1.5" – 2" thick. 32–40 oz typical. Tied off if you want it Frenched.

Cooking notes

How we'd cook it.

01 · Method

The two-zone problem

The filet finishes before the strip — start strip-side over direct heat for the sear, then rotate to put the filet on the cooler side. Pull when the strip is 125°F (the filet will be 120°F, just right). Rest 10 minutes.

02 · Method

Bone-down close-out

Last 2 minutes, lay the steak bone-down — the bone shields against overcook and adds marrow note to the crust.
