Cut Description & Characteristics
The Porterhouse Steak is a premium cut from the Striploin section, offering the best of both worlds: a tender filet mignon on one side and a richly flavoured strip steak on the other.
Sourced from Bass Strait’s grass-fed cattle, this 100% hormone-free and antibiotic-free steak is known for its bold flavour, juiciness, and melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
Raised in the clean, green pastures of Bass Strait, these cattle benefit from the region’s cool maritime climate, producing beef with exceptional marbling that enhances every bite.
The Porterhouse is thick-cut, providing a hearty meal ideal for those who appreciate a substantial yet tender steak. With its perfect balance of flavour and texture, it’s perfect for any steak enthusiast seeking both indulgence and quality.
Best Cooking Methods for Maximum Flavor
The Porterhouse is versatile, allowing you to experiment with various cooking methods to unlock its full potential:
Grilling (Best for Smoky Char)
Grilling the Porterhouse over high heat creates a crispy, charred exterior while preserving the steak’s natural tenderness inside.
For a perfect medium-rare steak, grill for 4–5 minutes per side, ensuring the perfect balance between a smoky crust and a juicy centre.
This method imparts a robust, smoky flavour that enhances the rich, beefy taste of the meat.
Pan-Seared & Butter-Basted
To achieve a golden-brown crust and rich, buttery flavour, use a cast-iron skillet to sear your Porterhouse on high heat.
Once the steak is seared, baste it with garlic butter, thyme, and rosemary to infuse depth and complexity into the meat.
This technique ensures a succulent interior with a crispy, flavourful exterior, perfect for steak lovers who crave richness in every bite.
Reverse Sear for Even Cooking
The reverse sear method is ideal for ensuring a perfectly cooked Porterhouse. Begin by slow-cooking the steak at 120°C–130°C in the oven or smoker until it reaches your desired doneness.
Once it’s cooked through, finish by searing it on high heat for a crispy, golden crust. This method results in an evenly cooked steak with a tender centre and charred, flavourful surface.
Sous Vide for Perfect Doneness
For precise cooking, sous vide the Porterhouse at 54°C for 2–3 hours to ensure an incredibly tender and juicy steak.
After cooking, quickly sear the steak in a hot pan to lock in the flavours and develop a caramelised crust.
This method offers the ultimate in consistent doneness, making it perfect for steak aficionados who desire perfection every time.
Broiling for a Quick, High-Heat Finish
Broiling your Porterhouse in the oven mimics the high heat of grilling, producing a steakhouse-style crust with a juicy, tender centre.
Place the steak under the broiler, flipping halfway through to ensure an even cook. This quick cooking method is perfect for those who want a flavour-packed steak without the need for an outdoor grill.
Flavour Pairings & Serving Ideas
The Porterhouse is rich and full of flavour, making it perfect for pairing with complementary sides and sauces:
Seasoning & Sauces
Simple seasoning with sea salt and cracked black pepper enhances the natural taste of the meat.
For added depth, try garlic herb butter, red wine reduction, or chimichurri sauce. A black peppercorn crust brings a spicy kick, while a balsamic glaze adds a tangy finish.
Side Pairings
For the ultimate steak dinner, pair your Porterhouse with roasted garlic mashed potatoes for a creamy, buttery texture that complements the richness of the steak.
Add grilled vegetables like asparagus, zucchini, and bell peppers, which bring a smoky crunch, and sautéed mushrooms and caramelised onions for an earthy, savoury contrast.
To balance the richness, serve with a refreshing mixed greens salad topped with shaved parmesan and balsamic vinaigrette for a light, crisp finish.
Wine & Beverage Pairings
Pair your steak with a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Shiraz, which has the right amount of tannins to complement the juicy marbling.
If you prefer a unique pairing, try a dark ale or a smoky bourbon, both of which enhance the deep flavours of the steak.
Packaging & Handling
Each Bass Strait Grass-Fed Porterhouse Steak is carefully hand-cut and packaged to maintain peak freshness and flavour retention. Upon arrival, it should be refrigerated immediately to ensure optimal quality.
For longer storage, wrapping the steak in butcher paper before freezing allows it to be preserved for up to six months without compromising its rich flavour.
When ready to cook, thawing the steak slowly in the fridge for 24 hours helps maintain its texture and ensures the best possible results.
