The porterhouse is a composite steak that’s derived from the point where the tenderloin and top loin meet. If you remove the bone and cut out the two steaks that make up the porterhouse, you get a tenderloin steak and a top loin (or New York strip steak). So if you order a porterhouse, expect big portions!
A porterhouse can be served whole or sliced, depending on your preference. For someone with a hearty appetite, it is a substantial meal—even a challenge. As a steak for two, a porterhouse is perfect for indulging on special occasions.
