How a Master Butcher Cooks a Porterhouse Steak

[@Joelio8701]

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

[@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!

[@pm3577]

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

[@user-vf4dz4uz6c]

His explanation of the cut of meat is terrific- i never knew all this but idid work in a slaughterhouse for 2 years, 3 months abs 4 days!!

[@Mike20464]

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

[@vilhelmhammershoi3871]

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

[@chefsteps]

Go for it!

Seasoning a marbly wagyu ribeye with pestled Maldon salt and black pepper whilst watching this, very therapeutic 👌🏼 thank you

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

[@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!

[@keithsweat7513]

Give me a loaf of bread to go with that jus! This just looks wonderful...

[@kuma9069]

Chef-Butcher sir, now that is one beautiful, perfectly cooked dish of splendid meat !! Many thanks from Barcelona city. 🌿🙏🧜‍♂️

[@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.

[@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.

[@r0llinguphill483]

Really appreciate the tip on how to hold the Victorinox.

[@bingo45100]

OK that last shot made me laugh.

[@dianasherwood9647]

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!!!

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.

[@gregargo1898]

Wow! Thank you Chef!

[@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

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@AlvinLeowProperty]

Looks fabulous

[@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.

[@RightOnTheFace]

That’s marvelous

[@JohnOrtynsky]

Wow! Just Wow.Its unfortunate that where I live, porterhouse of that quality will cost about $150.00, and it's not the ranchers who are profiting.

[@Datamining101]

This got real English-style real fast once it came out of the oven.🤣Looks delicious.

[@davelindsay4832]

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".

[@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.

[@guyparris4871]

Absolutely beautiful!

[@snitox]

I think you should experiment with a touch of cumin and cinnamon. I dont know how to explain it but it makes beef more edible to me. Like how lemon and dill makes fish more edible.

[@HeisenBird]

Please can I ask how that works? Sounds delicious but if you season a steak with cumin and cinnamon wouldn't they burn in the pan?

[@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.

[@CarlJones14]

We, wife and I, used to get Porterhouse steaks from our butcher William Rose in South London, although he was based near Vauxhall at the time. The PH steaks were bone free. All of a sudden, we couldn't get PH steaks, and the butcher come across as never knowing a PH steak, so we were forced into the Ribeye scene. Now my NaziTube feed is full of Porterhouse steak videos.

[@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.

[@MegaThrillKiller]

Slightly up on the cut turns into slightly down on the first stroke.

Only problem I have with fat steaks are that they all go cold by the time I have had the third piece.

[@kronos6948]

Do you warm your plates? When I'm making a big steak, I make sure to warm my plates to the point where it's almost too hot to touch, and my meat doesn't get cold as fast.

[@Mike20464]

😂😂😂😂

[@meatmasala2656]

[@pomegranatepip2482]

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

[@Subsonic-g2n]

Great, but if you cook the steak to an internal temp of 135 deg F, you will end up at 145 deg F after you let it sit as the steak continues to cook, and it won't be medium rare as it looks in the video. I would reverse sear instead.

[@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]

@@side-room-21 Thank you I will try this with your advice. Nice to pay attention to properly crusted steak; keeps my focus on something I can be proud of and enjoy!

[@e.r.v.9612]

With some technique is no dificult to get even cooking of both sides.....the only detail I could point there is working the meat with clamps instead of stabing the meat hundreds of times with forks... also the talow and the butter should be re-heated at the last moment to drizzle on the meat otherwise it would get cold and solid pretty (it's better to serve it in a small cast iron or clay pre-heated pot) and a few other details....Saluts from Argentina.

[@loyalUSguy]

Where can you get a T bone steak without the bone? Never heard of that. That would just be called a boneless New York strip steak. The cut on the opposite side of bone is the filet mignon. I guess we use different terminology regarding cuts of beef.

[@innsanewayne]

@@loyalUSguy it has a bone, just not a T

[@Lucifurion]

Because anyone who calls a steak without the eye on it a T-Bone is wrong, that’s why. I don’t give a damn what they say. Every single butcher in my country calls that steak a T-Bone and they’re 100% correct. A porterhouse is the part without the eye carved off the bone before cooking.
