THE T BONE STEAK



What is a T Bone Steak?

T-bone steak comes from the short loin and includes both strip and a smaller section of tenderloin separated by a T-shaped bone. It’s similar to porterhouse but with a smaller tenderloin piece. The cut offers two distinct textures—lean tenderness on one side and firm beefiness on the other.

Most often, T-bone is grilled or broiled at high heat. Searing then oven-finishing also works well. Slow braising is not suited to this premium steak.

T-bone has deep steakhouse roots and continues to be a classic premium cut. It’s priced higher than everyday steaks but typically lower than porterhouse.

A typical T-bone weighs 16–24 oz. A 4 oz cooked serving provides around 250 calories, 23g protein and 17g fat.
