Word origin

The term 'porterhouse' dates back to the 19th century and is believed to have originated from the term 'porter', which referred to a type of dark beer commonly consumed by workers, particularly porters, in taverns. These establishments often served hearty meals, including large cuts of beef, to complement the filling beer. The Porterhouse steak became known as such due to its association with these types of restaurants, where it was a popular dish among patrons. The distinctive shape of the steak, featuring a T-shaped bone with meat on both sides, was favored for its combination of tenderness and flavor from the tenderloin and the strip steak sections. Over time, the porterhouse has gained a reputation for being a premium cut, often featured in steakhouses and high-end dining establishments.
