USDA Prime Porterhouse
USDA Prime Porterhouse is two elite steaks in one: a New York Strip on one side and a Tenderloin on the other, divided by the iconic T-bone. Thick-cut and hand-trimmed, it delivers steakhouse drama, a massive crust, and luxurious juiciness. We ship every steak frozen at peak quality so you can recreate a classic chophouse experience at home. Eat Wild.
- Two-in-one perfection: strip steak savor + filet tenderness in a single, shareable cut.
- Steakhouse thickness: ideal for reverse-sear or two-zone grilling to nail doneness on both sides.
- Ships frozen on dry ice: rock-solid on arrival; thaw safely and cook with confidence.

What’s Included
Thick-cut Porterhouse steaks (strip + tenderloin on the bone). See the variant selector for steak count and total weight; exact thickness/shape varies by cut spec.
How to Cook (3 Proven Methods)
Target doneness: many prefer medium-rare on the strip and rare-to-medium-rare on the tenderloin. Use a fast, accurate thermometer and rest before carving. See our Steak Temperature Chart.
1) Reverse-Sear (best control for thick cuts)
- Cook gently at 225–275°F on the cool zone to ~10°F below your target.
- Finish with a blazing-hot sear (45–90 seconds per side) for a deep crust.
- For precise timing, use our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.
2) Two-Zone Grill
- Set up a hot and a cool zone. Start on the hot side to build color, then finish indirect.
- Position the tenderloin side slightly away from the hottest area to keep it from overcooking.

3) Cast-Iron Sear + Oven Finish
- Sear in a ripping-hot cast-iron skillet 1½–2½ minutes per side.
- Transfer to a 300–325°F oven to final temp. Rest 8–10 minutes.
Carving
After resting, run a knife along the bone to separate the strip and tenderloin. Slice each across the grain, then place the slices back against the bone for presentation.
Pro Tips
- Dry brine: salt 30–90 minutes before cooking for superior seasoning and browning.
- Mind the tenderloin: shield it from the fiercest heat; pull a few degrees earlier than the strip.
- Butter baste: finish with herb butter or a quick pan sauce for steakhouse-level richness.

Chef’s note: Angle the tenderloin side away from your hottest zone during the finish—then slice both sides and serve family-style with flaky salt.
