Understanding Porterhouse Steak
What is Porterhouse Steak?
Porterhouse steak is a large cut of beef that comes from the short loin section of the cow. It contains two different kinds of steak: the tenderloin on one side and the strip steak on the other. Because of this combination, Porterhouse is popular for its rich flavor and tenderness. Many meat lovers enjoy this cut because it provides the best of both worlds in one steak, making it perfect for grilling and special occasions.
How to Cook Porterhouse Steak
Cooking a Porterhouse steak can be an enjoyable experience, but it requires some know-how. Start by seasoning the steak with salt and pepper to enhance its natural flavor. You can grill, broil, or pan-sear it, but make sure to cook it over high heat to achieve a nice sear. For best results, aim for medium-rare to keep the meat juicy and flavorful, as cooking it longer can cause it to dry out. Remember to let it rest after cooking; this allows the juices to redistribute, providing a better eating experience.
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
When it comes to serving Porterhouse steak, simplicity is key. Pair it with classic sides like mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables for a well-balanced meal. A robust red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon, complements the rich taste of the beef. Additionally, consider enhancing your dish with a flavorful steak sauce or herb butter to elevate the overall dining experience. Whether it's a family gathering or a romantic dinner, Porterhouse steak is sure to impress your guests!

Here are the rules:
Cleaned | Quartered | On Ice
Our butchers are easy to work with, they ask that when you bring your game, it is:
- In an iced down cooler that keeps the meat below 41 degrees
- Skinned, gutted, and quartered
- Clean and free of all foreign debris and residue - including hair, bullets, arrowheads etc.
Always, bring your game to us in an iced down cooler - we always check receiving temperatures. Our butcher will receive and store your game in our freezer with a freezer bag for the period that we hold it. We don't keep coolers. When you return for pick-up, please come back with your iced cooler for safe and acceptable transportation back home.
It is very important to keep the temperature of the meat below 41 degrees to prevent decomposition, bacterial growth, and any contamination.
We do not keep coolers in our premises due to limited space and in order to meet and maintain acceptable storage temperatures of the game inside the cooler.
