T-bone steak
The T-bone and Porterhouse are
steak cuts of
beef. They consist of a
T-shaped bone with meat on each side. The larger side contains meat from the
strip loin, whereas the smaller side contains the
tenderloin. T-bone steaks from the rear end of the tenderloin contain a much larger section of the tenderloin, and are called porterhouse steaks. In British usage, followed in
Commonwealth countries, only the
strip loin side is called the porterhouse, and the tenderloin side is called the
fillet.

Porterhouse Steak
A cut of meat from the rear end of the short loin. The name originates from the days when it was served in public alehouses that also served a dark beer called porter. It consists of a hefty chunk of tenderloin with an even heftier chunk of sirloin tip. Some folks like to remove the tenderloin to serve separately as filet mignon.
