The big brother of the T-bone steak: the porterhouse steak is cut from the centre and stands out due to the large fillet section. The impressive bone divides it into rump steak and fillet centrepiece. A special classic for the grill or pan.

How do you recognise a perfect porterhouse steak?As with all cuts and pieces of meat, quality is the key. With beef, there are a number of factors at play. That's why we at Fitmeat pay attention to the best premium quality and source our meat exclusively from selected small farmers in Austria.
To become a fine specimen, the Porterhouse steak must be well hung and matured. Distinctive, beautiful marbling and a dark red colour are essential. We also make sure that our Porterhouse steaks have a high percentage of tenderloin.

Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
