where does the t bone cut come from
T-bone steak
The T - bone and porterhouse are steaks of beef cut from the short loin ( called the sirloin in Commonwealth countries ) . Both steaks include a `` T - shaped '' bone with meat on each side . Porterhouse steaks are cut from the rear end of the short loin and thus include more tenderloin steak , along with ( on the other side of the bone ) a large strip steak . T - bone steaks are cut closer to the front , and contain a smaller section of tenderloin . The smaller portion of a T - bone , when sold alone , is known as a filet mignon , especially if it 's cut from the small forward end of the tenderloin .
