What are the two steaks they get from a T-bone steak?

Asked by Dutchess_III (47049points) June 6th, 2017

I know one is a KC strip, but what is the other?

I rarely order steak, usually seafood, but when I do I get a Tbone. I get two great cuts of steak for less than I would if I bought them separately, plus I have food to last 3 days! But what is that other cut?

According to Wikipedia, it’s a tenderloin on the other side.

I saw that, but a tenderloin just doesn’t have the ring that the sound of a KC Strip or a rib eye has. You know what I’m saying? It just isn’t as well known, I don’t think. Well, I guess I’m wrong. This place listes tenderloin in the top 4.

Hmmm.

@janbb I’m not arguing. My final comment was ” Well, I guess I’m wrong. This place listes tenderloin in the top 4.” Did you miss that part?

I just learned that a T-bone is called a Porterhouse when it’s a certain thickness. Same steak, different name. I didn’t know that either..

I thought there was a more common name for the other half of the Tbone. I guess “Tenderloin” is it.

Oh! I knew it! I knew there was a more appetizing name for it than “tenderloin.” Espiritus says it’s filet Mignon. Checking more with him.

A TBone is a NY strip on one side and the other is tenderloin. Both delish. The tenderloin is that very very tender beef steak. I love it.

Having a very interesting discussion on the other thread about it.
