If they brought that to my table already cut up I’d send it back, I’ll cut my own as I eat it and slicing it up will dry out the steak . They package it that way at box stores because even my butcher shop charges the exact same price per pound for a T-bone vs Porterhouse.

As a former chemistry teacher who did lots of flamboyant demonstrations, I found that shower caps can fit over the smoke detectors and are easily removed.

I use to do this in hotels when i was smoking weed way back when ❤❤😅😅

[@daveharris6279]

My wife says thanks. You taught us well- I found huge Porterhouses from the Local T-bone sale for $9.99.

[@NapTownKid410]

Another difference between the two steaks is that on the strip side the quality of the strip "goes down" as the tenderloin "goes up". The Porterhouse contains what's call the vein end of the strip. There's a large, grisly "vein" of fat running through it. The T-bone end is the "clean" end. It typically has more intramuscular fat (marbling) without the large grisly vein funning through it. And that was a great point made about, not only Sam's Club, but most supermarkets. Many will just package these as T-bones. So you may have to do a little searching to find a good deal on a Porterhouse

[@willaerley7140]

Good point!

[@Bingo1Dog]

My local grocery store doesn't differentiate between T-bone and porterhouse. I just make sure to use my eyes when picking a steak (well 2 pack). They were on sale last weekend for under $7/lb (choice grade). I have a few in my freezer.

[@judithkutz3312]

Mr. Butcher Wizard- You were right! Went to Sam’s and found a beautiful Porterhouse Steak paired the a T Bone, hubby and I just had a delicious dinner. Hubby had filet and I had the rest! DIVINE! I am a big fan!

[@benlevin7296]

In addition to the value, you have the flavor from the bone, which, in my opinion, really elevates the filet

[@carilynjurgeson6178]

Great video! I will be looking for the Porterhouse packs next time I go to Sam's. I rarely order a T-Bone in a restaurant because I don't like to mess with the bone in public, especially when they hand you a dull steak knife. At home though, I got no problem with it and yes I will chew on bones. Thanks for sharing!

[@rodderbob]

Part of why I subscribe to your channel, and recommend it to others, is you have a similar philosophy to me in that we both like to cut up our own sub primals. I get NY strips from a whole strip loin and filets from a whole beef tenderloin. It would be nice to see you make this same comparison to that option as well. And, since we're thrifty types, that bone won't go to waste either.............home made beef stock baby!

[@jeromedanielson4422]

I prefer the p-house over the t-bone on the short loin any day!

[@kaythegardener]

In the price comparisons, he forgot to chalk up the 78 cents or so to the bone! but soup bones alone run about $5.98/ lb in my local store, so yes, the bone-in porterhouse would be the better bargain!!

[@viper29ca]

Actually I would expect that buying the NY Strip and Filet separately would cost more, than buying the porterhouse, as there is more work involved in separating the 2 steaks from the loin. Porterhouse, the loin is just run through the band saw, and packaged. Would have to do that, and then separate the 2 steaks from the porterhouse, or cut out the whole filet and slice and cut out the whole NY Strip and slice. Eitherway there is more butcher work/time involved in the NY Strip and filet

[@main2333]

So cute to tuck in fire alarm! 😂☺️

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

Should have taken the free cookware kit, wrap it up for someone to have a nice gift.

[@acewild9689]

Maybe he doesn’t think of others

[@curtismatsune3147]

In my area there's generally no difference in price between porterhouse and t-bone. In fact I've seen porterhouse labeled as t-bone and vice versa, as shown in the video. Considering you get a porterhouse for about the same price as a bone-in NY strip (although the NY strip goes on ad more often in my area), I've always seen porterhouse as an exceptional value considering you get a piece of filet as well. The results of the video show a slight value benefit for the porterhouse vs the boneless strip and filt separately, but the latter doesn't have the super delicious bone to gnaw and suck on.

[@Foggjammer]

Ribeye. Ribeye is worth the hype. Medium rare with s sprinkle of salt. And steak fries, too. And dark beer (Samuel Smith Nut Brown Ale). 😋

[@WorldsGreatestRingAnnouncer]

Bone-In are hype not boneless

[@claudinebernadettejimdar1681]

Ohhhhhh! It is Worth it! Couldn’t find any other steak wanting to help out and do the work! Where are you? Where were you?

[@bullmoose6739]

If you have 2 steaks, you can prevent overcooking the filet side by overlapping them when reaching room temperature. Don’t overlap the strip side. The filet always cooks faster.

[@8stringmonkey]

The bone in my opinion adds to the flavor as well.

[@anonymousf454]

I generally feel almost anything cooked on the bone taste a little better than off the bone. Fish, chicken, beef, lamb, i will take on the bone bedore fillets, but fish is generally easier without all the dam bones. If im at home I will pick that bone up caveman style to get all of those delicious bits. Maybe not out in a fancy resturaunt, but most of my fine dining iscdone at home these days anyway..lol

[@MK-hs9pl]

Lots of fantastic videos on beef! Would love to see some chicken videos too. These are awesome!

[@dponzi56]

I used to like a T-bone or a NY strip once in a while, but at $18-$24 a pound, I can't afford them anymore. My favorite steak has always been a sirloin anyway. I think you get the most bang-for-the-buck with them. Flavor is right up there with the NY strip, and the tenderness isn't much less. I never went out of my way for a fillet. I always thought they were overrated.

[@main2333]

You can set it at 8000 or what ever! 😂. I love this channel! So funny

[@allencampbell5432]

How is the quality at your local Sam's Club? I have noticed that any time I end up getting steak at Sam's, it tends to need to be cooked sooner, rather than later. They tend to start discoloring soon. One thing I found there that is popular at my house is the Angus Tip Sirloin Roasts. Usually 3-4.5 lbs, but at $4.50 a lb, it makes a killer dinner for not a lot of money.

[@VickiTakacs.]

And how do you cook it? Check out Korean bbqs in Korea. I watch Jolly. I'm blown away and would like to do the same here.

[@allencampbell5432]

Lots of salt and pepper on the outside. Sear the outside for about 2-3 minutes per side. I usually transfer into a glass pan, and end up cooking at 325 for 90 minutes. I tend to rest for about 15-30 minutes. Leaves me a solid rare all the way through, and quite tender, and lots of juices collected in the glass pan to make a gravy or jus. I typically enjoy mine sliced thin, with some extra salt and pepper, but the wife loves it cut like a smaller steak. The normal 4.5 lbs I try to aim for feeds 4 of us here, and we tend to have enough leftovers to snack on for another day or two. @@VickiTakacs.

[@johntitor8409]

Not sure where you're located but since you said Publix I imagine somewhere in the southeast. If you happen to be in southeast Florida, there's a place with $7.99/lb porterhouse.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

I like your fire alarm prep, that is funny. Enjoyed your video. I still prefer a ribeye over a porterhouse. To me it is not worth the cost. Thank you.

[@suzylund7859]

Just found you, and yes I see the value so I just SUBSCRIBED!!! 👍☺😋

[@DJ-fn3jm]

My local ShopRite & Stop and Shop occasionally run T-Bone/Porterhouse special of around $7/lb. I stock up when that happens.

[@wallacewilliams535]

in the late 90's a porterhouse was how men ordered their filet mignon.

[@mikepaulus4766]

In 2002 I was deployed and my ship pulled in to Diego Garcia. A young gym guy from my ship wanted a big steak. So he looked at the menu and ordered the filet mignon, the most expensive must be the biggest he thought. It was good, so he ordered another.

"I don't know how many of you are gonna pick up that bine and start gnawing on it " 😂 lmao that's definitely me! 7:32

[@jb888888888]

At my local gorcery store T-bone steaks vary from "bigger filet than a Porterhouse" to "no filet at all, should be called a bone in strip steak." They also sell Porterhouses and bone in strips.

[@steveherr450]

Oh yes!, I gnaw any bone in a steak. need to get my monies worth. 😊😊

[@BigFootpl]

When it comes to prices of this kind of stuff, labor is more expensive than meat. Porterhouse is cut by machine from big chunk with bone. And if you but NY or filet they have been cut out manually and then sliced. The same is when buing whole chicken and parts of it: Sometimes 2 breasts can cost the same or more than whole chicken.

[@trying3841]

Grocerystore just has some on sale for $8.99 a lb …. I wish I bought them now

[@eifnhoj7722]

When it’s not hot enough to melt butter,use room temp butter 😂

[@OverKillionaire]

I just got a steal of a deal on my prime grade porterhouse at my local grocery store. They marked down the choice, but also did a few prime as well. Swear I didn't adjust the stickers!

[@RaynmanPlays]

Bonus: Save the bone and use it to make beef broth.

[@WilliamImhof]

Heard you mentioned Publix - shame they almost never have good deals on meats (or a lot of items). I've been told in FL (Clearwater) that Winn Dixie is the place foe meat (aside form Costco or Sams). IN the NE, ShopRite is pretty darned good.

[@BeachPeach2010]

Lest we forget, the Bone also adds/detracts from the weight. 👍

[@SkummieDog23]

Love a good T-bone but the ribeye is king

[@rickidicki590]

May i ask where did you get your apron.

[@dhoffman4955]

Frequently, I can purchase brisket for under $3/#. I can grill or slow cook them. Sometimes, I shred for sandwiches as it’s less expensive than lunch meat. Do you have any recommendations for using brisket?

[@user-ho1yn6ms7y]

Love your videos. Question for you: Do you personally prefer Costco or Sam’s Club for meat? I’m a Costco member, and found that pork is a pretty good deal, but beef (other than prime brisket) seems to be pretty expensive. Ribeye is about $16-18/lb. by me. I got super excited after watching your video about buying the whole rib roast and then cutting it myself, but the whole roast was only $.20/lb. cheaper. 😢 I’ve heard people say Sam’s is cheaper for meat, so just wondered what your opinion is based on you shopping both places. Thank you much!!!

[@Sweetest_of_Seven]

I’d like to know too!

[@shadowpapito]

Reminding the Host that the standard recommendation resting time for steak is 10 minutes. Alternatives are 5 minutes per inch of thickness, 10 minutes per pound, or 1 minute for every 100 grams.

[@WilliamImhof]

Good point on standard; in my experience 5 min for 1-1.5 inch is the best. Have not tried 10 min+, but that's just me.

[@otpipe]

I'm pretty sure it's the width of the filet side that has to be 1.25min and not the thickness that makes the difference.

[@stevensmith4752]

Is porthouse the same as T bone?

[@stevensmith4752]

Sorry that has been clarified

[@dponzi56]

I'm not a butcher or a chef, just a guy who likes food and cooking, and watches videos. That being said, I had a butcher tell me once "all Porterhouses are T-bones but not all T-bones are Porterhouses". Just saying.

[@JSFGuy]

Thanks!

[@rgruenhaus]

Why would separately be cheaper when they want to charge you for the labor of cutting them off the bone?

[@barcham]

I'm always stunned at how expensive steak is in the US. NY Strip at one of my favourite local small grocery stores is $11.99/lb next week. And that is CANADIAN dollars, so that must be around what... $4/lb in US dollars? 😂 But in the summer months, I see NY Strip on special around $7.99/lb quite often.

5 minutes isn’t long enough resting time, try 10-15 mins, and turn it over every 5 mins. All that ‘juice’ on the board should still be in the steak, not bleeding out onto the board because the meat hasn’t had time to relax
