What Makes the Porterhouse Special?
The porterhouse steak is essentially two steaks in one—filet mignon on one side and a New York strip on the other, separated by a T-shaped bone. It’s a premium cut prized for its tenderness, marbling, and rich beefy flavor. Because of its generous size, a porterhouse is great for sharing and perfect for special occasions, weekend grilling, or treating yourself to a steakhouse-quality meal at home.
When choosing a porterhouse, look for one that’s at least 1.5 to 2 inches thick. Our butchers are happy to help you select the best one—and even trim it exactly how you like.
Recipe #1: Perfect Porterhouse Steak by Bobby Flay
This simple and bold porterhouse steak recipe from celebrity chef Bobby Flay brings the steakhouse home. The key is high heat, a thick cut, and quality ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 porterhouse steak (2” thick, about 2 lbs)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter (room temp)
Pro Tip: Use a cast-iron pan for a golden-brown crust and finish in the oven for perfect internal temperature. Let the steak rest 5–10 minutes before slicing to lock in juices.

Expert Grilling Tips from John Mull’s
Want to get that perfect char on the outside while keeping the center pink and juicy? Follow these tips:
- Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling
- Pat it dry and season generously with kosher salt and pepper
- Sear on high heat for 2–3 minutes per side
- Finish over indirect heat until desired doneness is reached
- Always rest before slicing!
Add wood chips to your grill for a smoky twist, or baste with melted garlic butter during the final minutes of grilling for extra flavor.
