Perfect Pairings for a USDA Prime Porterhouse
A porterhouse is best enjoyed with sides that balance its tenderness and bold character. Whether you’re cooking for two or creating a full steakhouse spread, these classic pairings bring everything together:
- Caesar salad: Crisp romaine, creamy dressing, and a dusting of parmesan give a refreshing balance to all that marbling.
- Grilled asparagus: Slightly smoky with a squeeze of lemon, asparagus brightens up the richness on the plate.
- Wild mushroom medley: Earthy, buttery mushrooms layered with herbs make a perfect complement to both sides of the steak.
- Creamed spinach: A silky, savoury classic that pairs beautifully with the porterhouse’s big, bold character.
How We Prepare a Classic Porterhouse Cut
Our USDA Prime porterhouse doesn’t need much beyond heat and light seasoning to shine. Here’s how we prepare it for a steakhouse finish right in your own kitchen:
Take the steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking to help it sear evenly.
All you need are freshly cracked black pepper and a few generous pinches of sea salt.
Place the porterhouse in a sizzling cast iron skillet or on the grill, giving it 3–4 minutes per side for a golden crust.
Add butter, garlic, and fresh thyme, then spoon it over the steak for extra flavour.
Aim for an internal temperature of about 54°C before removing from the heat.
Let the steak sit for 5–10 minutes so the juices stay locked inside.

Your Porterhouse Questions, Answered Straight from the Butcher
Both cuts have the signature T-shaped bone, but the porterhouse is larger and includes a bigger portion of tenderloin alongside the striploin.
Keep it simple: coarse salt, black pepper, and maybe a touch of garlic or herbs. The beef’s natural flavour does most of the work.
For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 54°C before resting. Adjust based on how you like your steak.
When vacuum-sealed, your steak will stay fresh in the fridge for 3–5 days. If you’re not cooking it within this timeframe, freezing it can preserve its freshness.
