Porterhouse Steak is One of the Most Popular Cuts of Beef

Porterhouse steak has always been one of the most popular cuts of beef because it is cut as a liberal section of the tenderloin. This premium quality steak is cut from the hind end of the short loin, which is towards the center of the animal. This section of muscles tends to get a small amount of exercise, so this cut is distinctively more tender.

The Porterhouse is made from both what would separately be the tenderloin and sirloin tip. The tenderloin is commonly separated and served individually as filet minion. It came about its name when it began to be served in public alehouses that typically served up ale, stout and a dark beer known as porter.

This steak tends to be fine-grained with a distinctive density of fat. The Porterhouse is usually cut from about 1 ¼ to 3 inches in thickness. Dry heat is considered the best way to cook this steak.

These tender steaks are available as a premium cut or even as affordable cuts for the entire family. For a special celebration or even as a gift, this tender, juicy and tasty cut is always appreciated. Treat yourself or someone special to a Porterhouse today. To learn more please visit "steaks"
