Porterhouse Steak

There are “trigger” stores I enter where I become “like a kid in a candy shop.” If I step into a candle or soap shop, you can bet I will walk out with a bag full!

The same is true of a true butcher shop. I grew up in an age where it was the only way to get quality cuts of meat. Did any of you grow up with a freezer in the basement to hold the half cow your parents bought to get through the year?

We are fortunate today to have so many options for our food and dry goods. I am thrilled we still have quality butcher shops in Saint Louis so I can channel Julia Child and ask for a specific cut of meat for my dinner that evening.

This time around we opted for a lovely porterhouse steak WHICH I cooked with helpful tips from my Big Guy. He even taught me about the history of a porterhouse as I enjoyed the filet side, and he took on the strip side. Look at me learning new things and breaking out of my box cooking a steak dinner!
