Angus Porterhouse is the best of both worlds—a buttery tenderloin on one side and a beefy New York strip on the other, divided by the iconic T-bone. Thick-cut and steakhouse impressive, this is the ultimate shareable steak for the grill or cast-iron. We ship every steak frozen at peak quality so you can go from freezer to flame with confidence. Eat Wild.

• Two steaks in one: filet mignon tenderness + strip steak flavor.
• Angus pedigree: prized for fine texture and consistent eating quality. Explore more Angus Beef.
• Thick & dramatic: perfect for two-zone grilling, reverse-sear, or cast-iron + oven.
• Ships frozen on dry ice: arrives rock-solid; thaw safely and cook with confidence.

What’s Included

Angus Porterhouse steaks, butcher-trimmed. See the variant selector for steak count, thickness (e.g., 1.25"–2"), and total weight; available grades may include USDA Choice and USDA Prime (when in stock).

Why Porterhouse?

Compared to a T-Bone, a Porterhouse carries a larger tenderloin section—the classic “date-night” shareable cut. Shop the full collection: Porterhouse.

How to Thaw (Refrigerator Only)

• Keep sealed; place on a rimmed tray to catch drips.
• Allow ~24 hours per inch of thickness in the fridge (34–40°F).
• After thawing, temper 30 minutes at room temp for even cooking. For exact guidance, use our Storage & Thaw Calculator.

Target Doneness

We recommend medium-rare (130–135°F) for the strip side and 125–130°F for the tenderloin side. See our Steak Temperature Guide and time precisely with the Steak Doneness Timer.

How to Cook (4 Proven Methods)

1) Two-Zone Grill (ideal for thick cuts)

• Set up hot and cool zones. Sear over direct heat 1–2 minutes per side for color.
• Move to indirect, bone toward the heat; lid closed until strip side reads ~130°F and tenderloin ~125°F.
• Rest 5–7 minutes; finish with herb butter. Need setup help? Use the Grill Setup Wizard.

2) Cast-Iron Sear + Oven (steakhouse classic)

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Sear in a lightly oiled, ripping-hot skillet ~2 minutes per side, plus edges.
• Transfer skillet to oven; cook to target temps (strip 130–135°F, tenderloin 125–130°F). Rest 5–7 minutes.

3) Reverse-Sear (ultra-even)

• Roast or grill indirectly at 225–250°F until internal hits ~115°F (tenderloin) / ~120°F (strip).
• Sear hard 45–60 seconds per side to finish at target temps; rest 5 minutes.

4) Sous Vide + Sear (edge-to-edge rosy)

• Bag with a pat of butter and thyme. Cook at 129–133°F for 1–2 hours (thickness-dependent).
• Pat very dry; sear very hot, very fast for a deep crust without overshooting. Use our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.

Portioning Tips

• Shareable: a 24–32 oz steak serves 1 hungry carnivore or 2 as a split entrée.
• Slice the strip side across the grain; carve the tenderloin medallion separately for perfect plating.

Pro Tips

• Bone advantage: position the bone toward heat during the indirect phase—protects the tenderloin.
• Butter-baste: in the last minute of sear, baste with butter + garlic + thyme for aroma and sheen.
• Carryover counts: pull 3–5°F early; temps rise during the rest.

Quality & Safety

• Ships frozen via cold-chain with insulated packaging and dry ice. See Shipping for cut-offs and delivery timing.
• On arrival, move directly to the freezer or begin a controlled fridge thaw. Review best practices in Meat Safety & Storage.

Chef’s note: Treat the tenderloin side gently—use two-zone heat so both sides finish perfectly. Salt, sear, baste, rest. That’s porterhouse perfection.
