How a Master Butcher Cooks a Porterhouse Steak

[@pm3577]

Perfect amount of instructional talking without waffling. 🙂👍 That’s a great tutorial mate.

[@rogerwarr4673]

Excellent explanation of the side of beef before you cut it. Gave us a great idea where it comes from on the cow. Even better than a lot of videos designed specifically to do that.

[@chefsteps]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Joelio8701]

Could 100% eat this just myself 😂😂. So good!

[@Kyle-nd4gz]

I was shocked.. he said it could feed five... I was like, nah mate, that's all me... haha

[@TheLastPharm]

I'm quite dumbfounded by how little I actually know about cooking any steak, let alone a magnificent Porterhouse like this one. I just said to my wife "You know, I'm 57 years old and I cannot believe how I've gotten this far in life without knowing enough about these things. It's mind boggling." I honestly don't think you could have done a better job at explaining or better yet: teaching the complete process. This is probably the best reference video I've come across in the last year and a half. Now I understand 'why' certain things are done in a certain way. Congratulations, you've earned another new fan!

[@vilhelmhammershoi3871]

Beautifully and thoughtfully done. Never done a Porterhouse but now I will try it!

[@chefsteps]

Go for it!

[@Mike20464]

What a mouth watering schooling I just received. Phenomenally done! Bravo!

[@battiekoda]

"I'm trying to get these little nuggets"....... Of pure joy! ❤😂

[@christopherglass8379]

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Common sense from start to finish, a real expert, thank you. BTW, I loved the dog at the end, my Cocker Spaniel goes all slitty eyed when beef is in the offing. Thank you again.

[@Nazareth434]

the porterhouse steaks in supermarkets around us are all about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick- and of course don't have all the nice fat and chunks and are tough- that porterhouse you cooked was incredible!

[@j8k3d18]

Good grief. Looks amazing. The upright roast method was new to me, but I am gonna try it now. Totally makes sense. Awesome video. Well done, good sir.

[@willaerley7140]

Makes sense, but it looks terrible. Parts well, parts med-r. Sous vide and then sear might be best. When I finish steaks in the oven, I do elevate them on some rolled up foil so the pan side doesn’t overcook.

[@garytman007]

I never tried this either. I absolutely love the reverse sear method. Low heat in the oven, then hot pan sear, lower temp and butter baste with herbs. I like medium/medium rare, but I would devour these steaks.

[@isauteikisa]

Beast & Cleaver is an amazing butcher shop. We buy sausages and burgers from them every year for our 4th of July celebration. If you're in the Seattle area, highly recommended.

[@chefsteps]

We agree!

[@patrickcollins7407]

Superb ....interesting that he only salted at the last moment.....its basically a joint....... Excellent techniques on browning without burning.....

[@waynefisher4327]

A great video in terms of clear anatomy, prep, seasoning and cooking methods. One of the best I've seen. 2nd for editing the audio has minor sync issues. I still feel especially the anatomy discussion was above par. Saluté!

[@kennedymitchell6149]

Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I know how to properly cook my favorite cut of meat. I usually get porterhouse steaks about 2 inches thick for my personal use. do you recommend smoking the porterhouse before using your method??? Thanks again for the tutorial. GOD bless.

[@Robert-lz3nt]

What temperature did you use when you put the porterhouse into the oven and did you use bake or broil? Thank you.

As a veterinarian i am happy yo see you mention the names of some of the muscles!

This was wonderful to watch, I am about to pan sear a Tbone, not as thick so i will do it entirely in the pan, but also if anyone is interested in seeing the entire incredible process of the cuts and sizes and Different meats, The Bearded Butchers will blow you away!!!

[@BananaRama-ck3ii]

It's not the fanciest hey but the versatility (paired or solo, thin or thick) makes it the absolute best cut. Plus the balance of fat and bone mean you get real beef flavour everytime like eerrrrrrytime

[@bradleycurrey3162]

Best lookin steak I ever saw.

[@greggcal4583]

Watched to Florentine chefs cook a giant porterhouse on a wood grill. This is a different way to do it, and I would love to try both.

[@WiliamRae]

Mad vibes and I’m jealous too amazing video 😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JohnWoo]

Excellent video. I always sous vide mine but after a while it gets kinda boring. Now I like a bit of variations in the doneness of the meat.

[@r0llinguphill483]

[@Timbershades]

Utterly perfect. Fantastic cooking.

[@mmancino1982]

Nothing more beautiful than a giant slab of perfectly cooked steak. No cutting!😂

[@Lucifurion]

Exactly. People who cut steak into strips after cooking it should never be allowed anywhere near a steak again.

[@ItsAll19]

Work of art! I'd push just a little closer to medium but that's a pretty hunk of meat right there.

[@treysean14]

[@philmann3476]

So refreshing to see a steak actually come out rare and a cook who is not afraid to touch things with his bare hands. Why everyone feels the need these days to wear black rubber gloves and cook steaks all the way to barely pink in the center is beyond me. Nice job.

[@pomegranatepip2482]

Does it not get cold,when you leave it to rest?

Years ago I took a whole hog butchery class from Kevin. I asked if we could make guanciale and he busted out the whole big's head. The first step we took was sawing it right in half down the middle, and while I was doing it the sound suddenly changed. "Don't worry that's just the teeth".

[@sevenmile24]

Beautiful.

[@OperatorPuski]

Switching to cooking in Talo is the best thing I ever did. For me, 10 more minutes in the oven to bring it to medium is perfect

That beef is just the right amount for one customer. No way I would share it with anyone.

[@Tom_Swiss]

It's so juicy, I can practically taste it through the screen.

[@ericflynn6541]

This is a great video! I have a question about why you keep flipping with the tenderloin side down rather than that opposite fat side though. It seems like one of the goals for this cook would be to keep that strip side fat closer to the pan and not the way you are flipping it

[@kevin-e5h5t]

I have worked in restaurants, and the best chef always deep fried the stake to start with. Once it had a (near) crust, it was put in a moderate oven to (relatively) slow cook. Hotplates are a one sided affair, with too much time and effort to make a crust on both sides. "Make it quick to start - then slow to the result".

[@jeremyco2906]

What cooker do you use? Brand and model please :)

[@elmathewswi]

Well done. Thank you.

[@RobertPassons]

My favorite part is when a dog wanders through the kitchen. 😊

[@stephensimons7974]

Can you explain what "curing " the steak does to the meat please?

[@tylerhughes5420]

If you salt too early, like hours ahead, the meat will start to taste a bit like jerky or ham on the outside.

[@jamestjomsland948]

Yo Chef, Loving, Lovely creation of Love. Thank You. I would love to be able to request such preparation and prestation and share the result with Staff and My Family ( with Red Wine). jimmy

[@stevemoczydlowski8895]

[@MegaMillie2000]

I lived in Spain for 15 years and had a friend who was a butcher, I invited him to a barbecue at my house and I got him to bring the Spanish version of the cut of beef called Chuleton . I started to salt the first steak as I normally would and he went crazy and said you don’t salt the steak until you cook it because it will dry the steak out to much so the other steaks I didn’t salt until it was resting believe me it was a better steak.

[@StephanRaczak]

Loved all of the steps. Simply mouth-watering and amazing presentation. But him using this smallish fork to flip this huge peace of meat is a bit painful to watch because the meat could easily just slip out from the fork tongs and come crashing into the hot fat. Also, not sure about piercing the steak these many times. So much easier to use large tongs.

[@Railhook]

Yes! Cleaning a bandsaw is not my favorite job. Especially in shop with no floor drain.

[@Dee-Man_An-Adams]

I have heard a theory that you should always try to only turn a steak once. Is this something that actually makes a difference or is it different based on the different cuts of steak?

[@side-room-21]

I think turning it more often prevents a larger grey band. Also helps you understand the crust you're forming better in real time. Gotten pretty good results that way.

[@Dee-Man_An-Adams]
