Dry-Aged USDA Prime Black Angus Porterhouse Steak
Product Description
Details
The Porterhouse Steak is great because it is really a combination of two very different steaks: The Filet Mignon and The NY Strip Steak. The Filet Mignon is most tender cut of beef and the NY Strip is one of the most flavorful cuts. It's the perfect steak when you want the best of both worlds.
Dry-Aged Beef
Dry aging is a process that both tenderizes and adds flavor to beef. Our dry aging rooms are kept below 35°F with a humidity of less than 90% and an ample amount of air flow. We age large primals of beef, short loins for example, anywhere from 14 days to 120 days. During this time, some truly amazing things happen. Water from inside the meat drawn out through evaporation which causes the the meat to shrink and the beef flavors to become more concentrated. Also, natural enzymes inside the beef break down the meat and tenderize it. When the process is complete, our butchers remove the hard exterior crust revealing a beautiful piece of aged beef. Currently, we offer 30-day, 50-day, and 70-day dry-aged beef to our online customers. The 30-day aged beef has a mild to medium aged flavor. The 50-day and 70-day have a medium to strong aged flavor.
- If you have never tasted dry-aged beef before, then we recommend starting with 30-day aged beef and work your way up.
- If you are serving a large group of guests, then it is best to use fresh (no age) or our 30-day aged beef. There may be some guests who do not enjoy the aged flavor.
- If you love aged beef flavor, then go with 50 or 70 days of aging.

Pat's Take
pats_take
The Porterhouse has a larger Fillet Mignon than the T-Bone Steak. This is great because there is less chance it will overcook in relation to the NY Strip on the other side. On the down side, the NY Strip on a Porterhouse is not a center cut and has a vein of connective tissue that runs through it.
Cooking Tip: Chefs typically cut the Filet Mignon off the bone after searing. This allows them to remove the filet from the heat early, so that it doesn't overcook waiting for the strip side to finish.
I recommend 30 days of aging to customers new to dry-aged beef or those who want more tender meat with only mild aged flavor. The 50 and 70 day aged beef is great for enthusiasts looking for a strong or very strong dry-aged taste.
