What is the difference between porterhouse steak and t-bone steak?
The Porterhouse steak and T-bone steak get often mixed up. Although from almost the same anatomical place of the bovine, the Porterhouse steak consists of the tenderloin muscle which is larger than in the T-bone steak, and a further muscle in the top center of the steak. ------------------------------------------- A Porterhouse is an "over-sized" steak coming from the point where the tenderloin and top loin meet. The porterhouse is thicker cut and has much more of the tenderloin relative to the loin portion than the T-Bone steak. If you remove the bone and cut out the two steaks that basically make up a porterhouse, you will get a tenderloin steak and a top loin steak. You need to be hungry to get through a Porterhouse!

Why use lamb shoulder for braised?
Any type of meat is essentially a muscle. The more the animal uses that muscle the tougher it is. A roast cut from the laeg would not be as tender when cooked as say A steak cut from the back of an animal such as a Tbone or porterhouse. Braising is a way of cooking that helps to tenderize the cut you are cooking. Adding an acid, such as tomato paste, to the braising liquid will help tenderize the meat even more.

Is flank steak a better cut of meat than flat iron?
Flank steak comes from the abdominal muscles of the cow. It is a very tough cut of meat, but if cooked correctly will be very tender. It is a great marinating steak and should always be cut thin against the grain before serving. In the early nineteen hundreds it was served (along with lobster) to the inmates on Ellis island. They referred to it as a form of cruel and unusual punishment because it was so tough and flavorless. It became a popular cut of meat after the great depression because it was very cheap and a group of German-Americans discovered a great marinating recipe to make it tender and flavorful. In the late 1990's, the price of flank steak went up, and it became unprofitable because it was no longer a cheap piece of meat. In other words, it cost the same as a porterhouse but was not near as good. Now flank steak is hard to come by. A porterhouse comes from the end of the short loin closest to the top sirloin towards the back end of the cow against the backbone and lower ribs. It is the same as a T-bone steak, but the fillet side must be one and one quarter inch at it's widest point according to the USDA. A lot of meat markets will only classify it as a Porterhouse if it has a third fillet in the middle of the strip side. That third fillet is actually just a piece of the top sirloin. It's also surrounded by gristle and fat. You'd be better off buying a T-bone with a big fillet in my opinion. There are no similarities between the flank steak and porterhouse steak but they are both great cuts if you prepare them the right way. Hope this helps.
Can you roast a porterhouse steak?
You can start by putting the steak on the center of the coals or right above the burner. Once you place the porterhouse steak on the grill, you should hear a sizzling sound. If you don't hear the sound, it indicates that the grill isn't hot enough to grill the steak. Porterhouse steaks are best cooked if they are turned over a minmum number of times. Each side of the steak must be cooked for about 10 minutes. You can use a thermometer to actually check if the meat is done. You can check a steak temperature chart to know about it.
