USDA Prime T-Bone
USDA Prime T-Bone delivers two classic steaks in one—the bold, beefy New York Strip on one side and the tenderloin on the other—separated by the iconic T-shaped bone that drives big flavor. Thick-cut, hand-trimmed, and shipped frozen at peak quality so you can create a true steakhouse experience at home. Eat Wild.

What’s Included
Bone-in T-Bone 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 the strip at medium-rare and the tenderloin a touch rarer. 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 until ~10°F below your target.
- Sear blazing hot 45–90 seconds per side for a deep crust; keep the tenderloin side slightly away from the fiercest heat.
- For precise timing by thickness, use our Sous Vide & Reverse-Sear Calculator.
2) Two-Zone Grill
- Create a hot sear zone and a cooler finishing zone.
- Start on the hot side for color, then finish indirect to temp; rotate to shield the tenderloin from flare-ups.

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 nestle the slices back against the bone for presentation.
Pro Tips
- Dry brine: salt 30–90 minutes (or overnight, uncovered) for superior seasoning and browning.
- Mind the tenderloin: it cooks faster—angle that side away from your hottest zone.
- Finish with butter: herb-butter baste or a quick pan sauce adds steakhouse richness.

Chef’s note: Treat the T-Bone like two steaks—protect the tenderloin from excessive heat, then carve and finish with flaky salt for a perfect, shareable platter.
