Got me a Wagyu T-Bone

[Henrik]

Visited my local butcher (a top end butcher I might add), and I almost always walk out a little happier, but my bank account takes a hit.

Well, no different this time, but check out this Wagyu 6+ T-Bone from Snake River Farms!

it weighs in at 1.25 kilos (44 oz), and I’m not gonna share it with anyone. This one’s all mine



This particular specimen is headed straight for my offset smoker for some oak smoke treatment.

That’s a porterhouse! T-bone has a smaller tenderloin. I much prefer the porterhouse!

[bbqLuv]

That was my thought at first sight.

[holehogg]

Called T-bone almost exclusively here but a few resturants think they smanchy and call it a Poterhouse.

[TripleB]

That's not a Porterhouse. It's a Garpes.

[Jfrosty27]

Whatever it is, YUM. I am so jealous.

[HouseHomey]

Looks amazing. And technically the USDA (or the like) has a definition.

I believe the filet size has to be a minimum size to be called a porterhouse. I think smaller that 3/4” (maybe 1/2”) it’s has a legal definition of a Tbone.

something along those lines. There are minimum specs for a porterhouse.

Mosca Looks like a PH to me.

Beautiful looking steak there! Throw that thing in the crockpot for a few hours and you got yourself a great meal.

[Henrik]

Crock pot? Not on my watch.

[JoeSousa]

OK, Instapot? Air Fryer? Non-stick skillet??? Surely you aren't going to throw that on a grill of any sort.

[Henrik]

Air fryer! Lol, you’re killing me 😂

[TripleB]

No way you're going to eat that all yourself. Without the bone, you're still looking at 2 lbs of beef. Now I believe Mosca could eat it.

[Henrik]

Now there’s a challenge: accepted!

[Mosca]

Sweet spot for a porterhouse for one is right around a pound. That's about a tick over an inch thick, so you can get a nice crust but keep medium rare. A Big Boy like Henrik has gets a Peter Luger presentation, both sides sliced into strips and served for two.

[Henrik]

Everyone told me I couldn’t eat 300 grams (10.6 oz) of Kobe beef either, but I did. So Porterhouse steak, look out!
