T-Bone Steak
About This Entry
T-bone combines strip steak and tenderloin separated by a T-shaped bone, offering two textures in one cut. The strip side brings marbling and beef intensity; the tenderloin side stays lean and mild — versatile for structured reds.
Beginner Guide
A T-bone is two steaks in one: striploin on one side of the bone, tenderloin on the other. Porterhouse uses the same idea but from a larger section with a bigger tenderloin portion.
