For many steak lovers, the t-bone is the only way to go. Our USDA Prime steak provides the most marbling recognized by the USDA grading system and is the answer for anyone in search of a top quality t-bone.
Steak lovers adore this two-for-one mix of a tender filet mignon on one side and a beefy New York strip on the other. Sourced from our limited supply of USDA Prime beef, these Prime steaks are classic cuts, well marbled, juicy, flavorful and delicious. These are the original bone-in steak and continue to be a steakhouse favorite. Buy Prime steaks online for dinner to your doorstep.
The USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) separates domestic beef into eight grades, based on intramuscular fat or marbling, and other qualities like tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. The two highest grades are Prime and Choice.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale and features a moderately abundant amount of marbling. Only 5 to 6% of all U.S. beef grades at this high level.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
T-bone steaks are unique since they contain two different steaks that cook at different rates. The reverse sear method helps keep both sides cook evenly.
Be sure to completely thaw your steak before cooking.
Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Keep a good quality thermometer on hand.
Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.
Slice steak against the grain at 90° to the direction of the muscle fibers. This makes for a more tender bite.
Finish your steak with a light sprinkle of flaky salt for a nice presentation and an appetizing salty crunch.
The t-bone is cut from the short loin, a smaller portion of the loin primal. The larger side of the steak is the longissimus dorsi muscle, the source of the New York strip. A t-shaped bone divides the steak and the smaller side of the steak is the psoas major, a muscle that receives minimal use and is the most tender of all beef cuts.
A t-bone has a small portion of tenderloin (between .5 and 1.5 inches in size). If the tenderloin is larger than 1.5 inches, the steak is a Porterhouse.
