Meat Guide
Not many people the difference between various types of
steaks. Why, there's the Porterhouse, T-Bone, Filet Mignon,
Filet of Prime Rib, Top Sirloin, and others. Each kind of
steak offers a different type of meat and, of course, a
different kind of taste. Let's examine the difference in
characteristics between the varying meats by starting off
with the American classic T-Bone.
T-Bone
The T-Bone clearly gets in name from its T-shaped
figure. The core of this steak is that it is two kinds of
meat in one. Generally, the T-Bone is a Boneless Sirloin
that also has the traits of a filet, making it softer than a
regular Boneless. It's ideal for people who like both the
Boneless Sirloin and Filet Mignon, as it doesn't sacrifice
its appetizing punch for its filet texture.
Porterhouse
The Porterhouse is similar to the T-Bone steak, as it
also features two kinds of steak meat: a New York Strip and
Filet Mignon. The Porterhouse is typically the largest of
steaks, so it'll surely cure the hungriest of steak cravers
with one serving. Moving on, the Filet of Prime Rib is a
mixture of a traditional steak with the tantalizing taste of
a Prime Rib.
Sirloin
Then there is the Sirloin. It gets its name as it is the
meat from the loins of the animal. If done right, the
Sirloin is the top choice for steak lovers, as it features
the perfect blend of exterior fat trims to give it a flavor
and texture unlike any other type of steak. There is a
variation of the Sirloin called the Boneless Strip Sirloin
Steak. The Boneless Strip Sirloin offers additional trims of
fat on the exterior, but also additional flavor and size.
Filet Mignon
The Filet Mignon is the golden standard of steaks, the
unanimous favorite. It is the softest of the steaks, as it
nearly melts in your mouth and doesn't require hard chewing.
The Filet Mignon is from the tenderloin part, and it is
commonly the smallest, though most expensive, steak you can
order. Additionally, brands like Omaha Steaks offer Triple
Trimmed Filets that have all of the exterior fat removed,
which makes it ideal for someone on a certain diet.
