just because it is a huge steak and
deserves to be so.
• A good porterhouse should have a deep,
rich color without any gray. 
• The fat should be white and not yellow.

Storing
Porterhouse Steak
• You can generally keep a porterhouse steak in
your refrigerator in the store packaging for up
to 48 hours.
•  For longer storage, repackage it tightly
wrapped in plastic wrap or butcher paper and
place it in the freezer.
• For the best flavor, use it within three months.
• For longer freezer storage, it's best to vacuum-
seal the steak first to prevent freezer burn.

How to Cook Porterhouse Steak
• For the most authentic steakhouse flavor, cook your porterhouse on
the grill.
• But you can also get great results with the broiler or in a smoking hot
cast iron skillet on the stovetop. 
• Use light seasoning but a generous amount of salt and try not to cook
the steak beyond medium , or 63 C, at the most.
