Cut OverviewAbout This Cut

Porterhouse is cut from the short loin, between the sirloin and the rib. It is one of the leaner loin steaks, with a clean strip of fat running along the edge that bastes the meat as it cooks.

Tip: Score the fat cap lightly before cooking. It renders more evenly and stops the steak from curling.
