About this cut

What it is and how to use it

The pork porterhouse is cut from the back end of the loin, where the tenderloin is still attached. Its T-shaped bone separates the loin muscle from the smaller tenderloin muscle, so you get two textures in one chop. It is thick and meaty and does best grilled, pan-seared, or roasted. It is the pork equivalent of a beef porterhouse.

Cook’s tipKeep the tenderloin side away from the hottest heat. Cook to 145°F and rest three minutes.
