Porterhouse - filet is dependent on what you cover it with for a sauce to have any real flavor.

That is not a porterhouse. Regardless marbling on the filet much better.

T-bone, rare.
I once had a filet that I would call black and blue, but that was just because Morton's messed it up at one of those lunch seminars. |

Thick Eye-fillet, medium-rare with a little salt, fresh cracked pepper, and pan juices.
Forget the sauces and bacon.

Honestly, neither of these 2 pieces are great. I'd go with chicken.

Precisely! Filet must be medium rare or its absolute crap. I can eat a medium ribeye because of all the fat but a filet has no tolerance for bad chefs lol I do make bone in dry aged porterhouse a few times a year and it's also ridiculously good! But that particular cut doesn't look well marbled or like a porterhouse.

Thanks for all the comments guys
OK the results of the Fillet are in................. 1. The steak was with just salt & pepper a little bland without a drop of sauce. So I had myself a little dipping dish of Ponzo Sauce to give it a bit of zing, my other go to sauce is Tabasco Green. Fillet1.jpg 2. This fillet was very tender and was surprisingly juicy. Fillet2.jpg 3. Cooked a touch over medium rare. Fillet3.jpg 4. I have to say the more I ate this fillet the better it tasted. Fillet5.jpg 5. The steak was tender and had a strong beef flavour but unfortunately, it did not have the sweet taste that steak can acquire from ageing and some fat. The small amount of marbling did not have any appreciable sweetening of the flavour of this steak. Fillet5+.jpg Scores out of 10 Tenderness 8 Flavour (with sauce) 7 Texture 8 Total out of 30 = 23

Sure looks good Steve. Some harissa or fresh horseradish might make for a nice accompaniment.

Pretty sure that "porterhouse" was not aged for 100 days after butchering, but finished on grain feed for 100 days before butchering.

A fine piece of steak should not require any condiments.

A review of the strip will occur in the next day or so.
Paulie the blades are made by a famous bladesmith in Japan called Takeshi Saji. The blades are hand made and some incorporate the 'damascas' blade which is made by repeated hammering, cutting and reheating the steel.
